Thomas Tuchel has been named as the new head coach for FC Bayern, according to reports. The German coach has already accepted the job, although the club is expected to make an official statement on Friday. This news comes as a surprise to many, as Julian Nagelsmann was widely tipped to take over the position from Hansi Flick, who recently resigned.
Interestingly, it has been reported that Nagelsmann was not informed directly by Bayern Munich, but instead saw the news through the media. This adds to the shock and confusion surrounding the situation. However, it has been confirmed that an agreement between Bayern and Tuchel has been reached, with the contract already agreed upon and the necessary documents being prepared.
Tuchel is no stranger to success, having previously managed clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, and Mainz 05. He has won multiple domestic trophies throughout his career, including the Ligue 1 title with PSG in 2020. The appointment of Tuchel will no doubt be seen as a significant move by Bayern, as they seek to continue their dominance in the German league and beyond.
