Bayern Munich and head coach Thomas Tuchel will go their separate ways at the end of the 2023-24 season. The club confirmed the decision through an official announcement made on Wednesday.

According to the club’s statement, the two sides had an “open, good conversation” during which they came to a “mutual” decision to end their collaboration in the summer. Tuchel will be out of contract at the end of the season.

“We have agreed that we will end our collaboration after this season,” Tuchel added. “Until then, I and my coaching team will of course continue to do everything we can to ensure maximum success.”

Tuchel took over Bayern in March 2023, replacing under-pressure manager Julian Nagelsmann. He successfully guided the club to yet another Bundesliga title, their eleventh in a row.

This season, however, Bayern has struggled to keep their dominance in the domestic league despite the big-time summer acquisition of star striker Harry Kane. They are currently second in the Bundesliga, trailing the leading Bayer Leverkusen by eight points after 22 matches. They also failed to win the German Super Cup and were eliminated from the DFB Pokal by Saarbrucken, a third-tier club.

Bayern is already making plans for the future, with several high-profile names being on their list of potential replacements for Tuchel. The current favorite to take over is Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso, while the list also includes Jose Mourinho, Zinedine Zidane, and Antonio Conte.

Highly-rated Chelsea coach Anthony Barry is set to join former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich, sources revealed on Thursday. Chelsea is expected to receive compensation of £1 million following the coach’s departure.

Barry was part of Tuchel’s backroom staff before Tuchel was fired from his role as Chelsea manager in September last year. Since Tuchel was recruited as Bayern’s manager a month ago, the two clubs have been in talks over Barry’s potential move to the reigning Bundesliga champions.

Tuchel has been vocal about his desire to be reunited with Barry. “My coaching staff wasn’t prepared either, so a big thank you to their families for their flexibility,” Tuchel said.

“Arno Michels and Zsolt Low, who have been working with me for over 10 years, will be there. We’re hoping to add Anthony Barry, who is currently at Chelsea,” Tuchel revealed before the deal was complete.

Barry at Stamford Bridge in 2020 as a hire of then-Chelsea manager Frank Lampard. He went on to work for both Tuchel and Graham Potter before assisting Belgium at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Paris Saint-Germain isn’t dominating Ligue 1 this season, and manager Thomas Tuchel will be the one to pay the price. According to ESPN, PSG informed Tuchel that his services are no longer needed on Thursday.

However, the managerial vacancy on the French team won’t be open for too long with the club reportedly already agreeing to terms with former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino. The two sides have been reportedly negotiating for the past two weeks.

Tuchel was on the hot seat last season but was granted more time after PSG’s good performances in Europe that saw them reach UEFA Champions League Finals for the first time in club history. However, the club’s struggles in 2020-21 prompted the Paris front office to make a change.

PSG is currently third in the domestic competition, having uncharacteristically lost four games early in the season. They managed to make it to the UCL knockout stage but needed a late surge and help from other clubs to do so.

According to reports, Tuchel also has a bad relationship with sporting director Leonardo, which speeded up the process of his firing.

PSG now hopes that Mauricio Pochettino can take the club to the next level and get them the elusive Champions League trophy the club so desperately wants. It may help that Pochettino has a history with the club, having played there between 2001 and 2003.

Pochettino was unemployed since November 2019, having been fired by Tottenham after a series of bad results in the Premier League. He spent five and a half years with the Spurs, leading the club to a UEFA Champions League Finals in 2018-19.
