NAGELSMANN SET TO BE REPLACED BY THOMAS TUCHEL AS BAYERN MANAGER
Julian Nagelsmann is set to be sacked by Bayern Munich on Friday with Thomas Tuchel set to take over from him, according to reports from Germany.
The Bundesliga champions are struggling domestic League this season, sitting second behind Borussia Dortmund.
Nagelsmann, who hasn’t been at the training ground this week, is understood to be about to lose his job because of the lack of development of individuals and his playing style since he took charge in 2021.
Tuchel, 49, has been out of work since being sacked by the Stamford Bridge club in September under the new ownership of Todd Boehly.
Tuchel, who has been residing in Munich for a few weeks, is anticipated to conduct his first training on Monday, with his first match scheduled for April 1 against his previous team, Bundesliga-leader Borussia Dortmund.
Tuchel persuaded the Bayern hierarchy with his plans for the club and his track record of coaching big-name stars like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
The former Chelsea boss has previously managed Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. Bayern’s players are already aware that Tuchel will be their new manager.
