This one, we didn't see it coming. It must be said that we live in France and that seen from here, Bayern Munich's journey really did not seem infamous, with its 2nd place in the Bundesliga and its qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, at the expense of PSG. Yet Julian Nagelsmann has been fired from his position as coach, said Thursday evening the press of his country, Bild in the lead. Thomas Tuchel (49), former technician of PSG and Chelsea, without a club currently but domiciled in the Bavarian capital, is about to succeed him.
This Friday morning, the leaders of "FC Hollywood" had not yet formalized the information. But they did not appreciate the start of the year 2023 of the team in the league, marked certainly by five wins, but also by three draws and two defeats, the last Sunday in Leverkusen (2-1).
A dismissal in the middle of an international truce
Borussia Dortmund took the opportunity to regain the lead of the table, while a tantalizing duel between the two rivals is announced for April 1, at the Allianz Arena, at the end of the current international break. Bayern, also qualified for the quarter-finals of the German Cup, is scheduled to challenge Manchester City in C1 on April 11 and 18.
According to Bild, Nagelsmann fell from the top when he heard the news, while he had gone to Austria to ski. It is a halt in the hitherto perfect trajectory of the 35-year-old coach, who in 2016 became the youngest technician in the Bundesliga, at Hoffenheim. Nagelsmann then moved to Leipzig and joined Munich in 2021 where he signed a five-season contract in solid gold. Bayern had paid 25 million to recruit him. The thirty-year-old will always be able to console himself with very comfortable severance packages.
