FC Bayern Munich is about to part ways with coach Julian Nagelsmann. The official execution is still a long time coming, but in Thomas Tuchel successor should already be fixed. The international press writes:
Spain:
"Bernabeu Digital": "Nagelsmann is in the sights of Real Madrid, and Tuchel already has a job. The change on the coaching bench of one of the European giants brings the former Bayern Munich coach closer to the Santiago Bernabéu in the summer."
"AS": "Bayern Munich experienced an unprecedented earthquake yesterday."
"Marca": "Bomb impact in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern fires Nagelsmann. Tuchel will be the successor."
"Mundo Deportivo": "FC Bayern kicks Nagelsmann out and has already made a decision about the replacement."
"Sport". "Bomb in Germany! Julian Nagelsmann will no longer be Bayern Munich coach."
Italy:
"Gazzetta dello Sport": "A bolt from the blue. Bayern surprisingly parted ways with Nagelsmann: Tuchel will take his place."
"Corriere dello Sport": "Sensation in Bayern: Nagelsmann dismissed, Tuchel replaces him. The defeat in Leverkusen, which cost Bayern the lead in the Bundesliga, was fatal."
"Tuttosport": "Sensation at Bayern Munich: Nagelsmann before dismissal! According to "Bild", the German club has already identified Tuchel as his successor. The recent Bundesliga defeat against Leverkusen was fatal."
Great Britain:
"The Sun": "Back in cloth – Bayern Munich appoints Thomas Tuchel as new coach in a breathtaking move after Julian Nagelsmann was thrown out."
"The Guardian": "Bayern Munich throw Julian Nagelsmann out and prepare to hire Thomas Tuchel. The German giants are acting quickly after the defeat in Leverkusen at the weekend."
"The Daily Mirror": "Shocker in Bavaria! Bayern Munich throws Nagelsmann out and Chelsea ex-coach Tuchel takes over."
"The Daily Express": "Bayern Munich have reportedly pre-empted Tottenham with the signing of Thomas Tuchel (...). Spurs are currently looking for a replacement for Antonio Conte (...)."
France:
"Le Parisien": "Bayern Munich: Nagelsmann dismissed, Tuchel should replace him? Nobody saw it coming (...), but Julian Nagelsmann is to be dismissed with immediate effect at Bayern Munich. Nagelsmann, who came from Leipzig in 2021, had just qualified Bayern for the quarter-finals of the Champions League by eliminating PSG. (...) But the Bavarians are not called FC Hollywood without reason. New affairs happen all the time and in the next few hours we will undoubtedly know more about the reasons for this sudden dismissal."
"L'Équipe": "Nagelsmann went down in the history of the German club 19 months ago when he became the first coach to sign for five seasons. He was also the first for whom Bayern had to spend money (25 million euros to RB Leipzig). The fact that he is being thrown off board at this point raises questions. After all, the Munich team is still on course for a treble."
Le Figaro: "It was rumoured that he will return to PSG to replace Christophe Galtier next season, but ultimately Thomas Tuchel will start again at Bayern Munich. (...) Nagelsmann no longer had a good reputation among the German champions. The top management accused him of surprising tactical decisions and an insufficiently stable game scheme."
Netherlands:
"Algemeen Dagblad": "Despite some weaker results, the club management has so far stood behind the youngest coach in the club's history. But after the 1-2 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen, the measure was full for the Bavarian top team, which has already lost ten points this calendar year."
"De Telegraaf": Bayern Munich puts Nagelsmann on the road. ... The intervention is remarkable insofar as Bayern are still in the race for the eleventh league title in a row, just one point behind Dortmund, as well as in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and the quarter-finals of the German Cup."
Switzerland:
"Blick": "The coaching quake in Munich is making waves. Coach Nagelsmann is surprisingly dismissed. The failed long-term project could become an expensive affair for Bayern. (...) Because of the danger of not winning the Bundesliga title for the first time since 2012, this is now abruptly aborted. Thomas Tuchel is supposed to save the season – and could become a treble winner with Bayern less than two months after his appointment. What he has to do is keep the championship trophy in Munich."
Austria:
"Kronen Zeitung": "While FC Bayern Munich was planning his dismissal, Julian Nagelsmann enjoyed a skiing holiday with heart lady Lena Wurzenberger in the Austrian Zillertal. From the point of view of the Bayern bosses, the love trip was obviously a wrong signal. Ironically, during the international break, FC Bayern Munich parted ways with Julian Nagelsmann. A bang!"
"heute": "While in Munich about the Nagelsmann expulsion was discussed, the coach himself was on a skiing holiday in Tyrol, and was not informed by the club about the events."
