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.

Bayern Munich announced on Friday that Julian Nagelsmann has been dismissed from the role of manager. He has been replaced by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

“FC Bayern Munchen has released head coach Julian Nagelsmann,” Bayern said in a statement. “This decision was taken by CEO Oliver Kahn and board member for sport Hasan Salihamidzic in consultation with club president Herbert Hainer. Nagelsmann will be succeeded by Thomas Tuchel. Tuchel will receive a contract until 30 June 2025 and will supervise squad training for the first time on Monday.”

Hired in April 2021, Nagelsmann led Bayern to their 10th successive Bundesliga title last season. The team has remained strong under Nagelsmann’s guidance, proceeding to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League and remaining just one point off current Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund. Nagelsmann’s dismissal is believed to be related to the team’s domestic record, with the team just four points above third-placed Union Berlin.

Prior to being defeated 2-1 by Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday, Bayern was at the top of the Bundesliga table, however, the loss allowed Dortmund to leapfrog them.

With the international break underway, Tuchel’s first game with Bayern will be against bitter rivals Dortmund on April 1. He will also manage Bayern in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal clash with Manchester City on April 11.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel insists that the club does not need to sign new players following his side’s shock 3-0 defeat to Leeds United on Sunday. The Blues have won just one of their first three Premier League games this season.

According to Tuchel, his team appeared to be the stronger side on the day but made a handful of costly mistakes that handed the game to Leeds. While he previously expressed his interest in signing another central defender and striker before the close of the transfer window, Tuchel is adamant that he will not resort to panic buying on the back of Chelsea’s humiliating defeat.

“The transfer period is still open and it gets later and later and we need to focus on what we have and what we can do,” the Chelsea boss told reporters after the match. He also pointed out how his side dominated the game in the opening 20 minutes but began to make errors that cost the Blues’ the game.

Center-back Kalidou Koulibaly, who Chelsea signed from Napoli during the current transfer window, was sent off against Leeds after receiving a second yellow due to pulling down Joe Gelhardt.

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is being investigated by the English Football Association after releasing a barrage of criticism against referee Anthony Taylor following his team’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

Tuchel stated that “maybe it would be better” if Taylor did not referee games involving Chelsea in the future, while also questioning how the referee allowed both of Spurs’ goals to stand. Chelsea took a 1-0 lead into the half-time break, with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg slotting home a long-range strike to draw Spurs level. This goal came after Spurs’ defender Rodrigo Bentancur appeared to have fouled Kai Havertz.

Reece James managed to restore the Blues’ lead in a blistering counter-attacking move, however, Chelsea was unable to hold onto the lead until the final whistle as Spurs’ forward Harry Kane headed home a corner deep into stoppage time. Yet again, the goal was surrounded by controversy, with Cristian Romero pulling Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella down by his hair moments before the ball arrived in the box.

Both Spurs’ goals triggered heated exchanges between Tuchel and Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, with the pair having to be separated after full-time following a bust-up. Tuchel and Conte both received red cards as a result, with the FA labeling the behavior of both managers “improper”.

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.

Current assistant manager and former Bayern Munich player Willy Sagnol has been appointed as interim manager. Thomas Tuchel and Julian Nagelsmann are targeted by the club to fill the vacated position, but Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp isn’t out of the picture.

“The performance of our team since the start of the season did not meet the expectations we put to them,” – said Bayern’s chief executive Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, explaining the team’s decision. “I would like to thank Carlo for his cooperation. Carlo is my friend and will remain my friend, but we had to make a professional decision. The game in Paris clearly showed that we had to draw consequences.“

Ancelotti didn’t make comments to the media about him being fired, but did went on Twitter and said that “it has been a great honour to form part of Bayern’s history” and thanked “the Players and it’s amazing fans.”
