Thomas Tuchel appointed as the new Bayern Munich manager

Major changes are happening at Bayern Munich. After slipping to the second position, the German club has decided to sack their manager, Julian Nagelsmann, with immediate effect. Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been appointed as the new boss of the Bundesliga champions.

As per Fabrizio Romano, Bayern has agreed to bring Thomas Tuchel as the club manager. Tuchel has been living in Munich for some weeks and has previously managed Borrusia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain. Thomas Tuchel has a win percentage of 56.62% across his coaching career thus far.

Under Nagelsmann, Bayern hasn’t played up to their potential, with the club facing a 2-1 defeat to Bayern Leverkusen in the Bundesliga that saw them slip to the second position in the league. Although, the champions have played excellently in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich is through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League but faces a stiff test next against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. The fixture sees Pep Guardiola take on his former side, with the tie winners set to face Real Madrid or Chelsea for a place in the final.
