A new trend is emerging for the future of Thomas Tuchel, the coach of Bayern Munich.
Thomas Tuchel will bow out at Bayern Munich after a period of one year and three months at the head of the Bavarian club. His departure is scheduled for next June. Although qualification for the quarter-finals of the Champions League was not a necessary condition for his continuation, it nevertheless allowed him to bring a positive touch to his mandate.
Free from any contract at the end of the season, Tuchel remains in high demand on the European market despite his mixed experience in Munich. If we believe Bildtwo main options are available to him for his future: the Premier League and Barça.
Pochettino out, Tuchel in?
According to information from the German media, the former PSG coach is considering a return to England, with a preference for a return to a Premier League bench, where he already officiated at Chelsea. Although Manchester United initially caught his eye, Tuchel now appears less than optimistic about his chances of succeeding Erik ten Hag. So, he turns instead to Chelsea.
Uncertainty hangs over Mauricio Pochettino’s future at Stamford Bridge, raising the possibility of a Tuchel return. With his in-depth knowledge of the club and its leaders, he appears to be an ideal candidate for this position.
Two options ruled out
According to our colleagues across the Rhine, FC Barcelona constitutes another possible option. The Catalan club are looking for a successor to Xavi and Tuchel is on the list of potential candidates. However, the German seems reluctant to join the Blaugrana due to the language barrier, the club’s mentality and its financial problems.
Two possibilities are ruled out by Tuchel: taking the reins of a national team or joining a Saudi club. He wants to continue his career in a high-level club where he can impose his style of play.
