Thomas Tuchel Announced as New Bayern Munich Head Coach! The Bavarians have a new man in charge of the team.
Bayern Munich unveiled Thomas Tuchel as their new head coach yesterday. This came in tandem with the sacking of Julian Nagelsmann.
Tuchel’s last job was as head coach of Chelsea FC, where he was sacked at the beginning of the current season and replaced by Graham Potter. This is despite winning the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup with the Blues.
His previous jobs include stints with Borussia Dortmund and PSG.
“I’m convinced that it’s an honour and a distinction to be approached by FC Bayern.” Tuchel told the press.
“When you sign a contract, it’s a great honour. My express thanks for the trust in me go to Oliver Kahn, Hasan Salihamidžić, Herbert Hainer and Uli Hoeneß.
“When you work abroad for a while, you become even more aware of the importance of FC Bayern. The club’s DNA is about commitment.
“Bayern is about winning, also about the way of winning. The squad is one of the most talented and best squads in Europe.
“I’m really looking forward to working with this squad. You’re a contender for every trophy with these players.
“It’s also a big commitment. In the end, it’s also a personal wish to work close to my family.
“There were many reasons to commit quickly.” He stated.
In a weird turn of events, his first game will be against former club Borussia Dortmund in the biggest club match in Germany.
“In the first seconds of the conversation I was relatively naive. The challenge of starting directly with the game against Dortmund couldn’t be bigger.
“It’s German football’s biggest clash. It’s taken on a new explosiveness, due to our gap in the standings and BVB’s extraordinary run.
“But that hasn’t stopped us from approaching the task with anticipation.” He stated.
He will have a week to acclimatise to his new surroundings. Thomas Tuchel Announced as New Bayern Munich Head Coach!
