Between Bayern Munich and Thomas Tuchel, the divorce is recorded. If the reigning German champions still remain in the race to lift the 2023/2024 Champions League, Joshua Kimmich’s teammates have generally disappointed in recent months. Exited prematurely in the Cup and outrageously dominated by Bayer Leverkusen, already crowned in the Bundesliga, the Bavarian leaders have logically decided to start a new cycle from next June. With this in mind, the club made the news official through a press release published last February.
“FC Bayern Munich and head coach Thomas Tuchel have decided by mutual agreement to end their employment relationship, initially scheduled until June 30, 2025, on June 30, 2024. This is the result of a constructive discussion between CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen and Thomas Tuchel”. Arriving on the Munich bench at the end of March 2023 to replace Julian Nagelsmann, dismissed to everyone’s surprise, Thomas Tuchel will soon find himself free to join the club he wants while his contract runs until June 2025 with the Record Master. If Bayern have since activated several avenues to replace him (Nagelsmann, Zidane, etc.), the 50-year-old German could also quickly take on a new challenge.
The Red Devils board contacted Tuchel!
In this context, Bild indicates, this Monday, that Manchester United still remains very interested in the idea of offering the native of Krumbach. Having passed through Chelsea before arriving in Munich, Tuchel has never hidden his desire to return to the Premier League. Still according to the indiscretions of the German daily, this issue has even heated up considerably in recent hours. Indeed, Sir James Ratcliffe (71), the owner of the Red Devils, directly contacted the person concerned while the future of Erik ten Hag on the Mancunian bench is more uncertain than ever.
Winner of the Champions League with the Blues, Tuchel would be ready for the idea of starting a new challenge once his adventure is definitively over with the Munich team. “I have an agreement with the club, which has been communicated and which is in force”, had also indicated the former Dortmund manager, ruling out a possible turnaround in the situation, comparable to that currently experienced by Barça with Xavi. Criticized for his performance during his latest experiences, Thomas Tuchel could therefore move to Manchester United and thus try to restore its image but also that of a club which has been suffering greatly for several seasons.
