Thomas Tuchel will now definitely not remain coach of FC Bayern. The club and he have not found an agreement for further cooperation after the separation had already been agreed in February.
FC Bayern Munich must continue to look for a new coach. Thomas Tuchel will not turn things around at the German football record champions and, as agreed almost three months ago, will leave the club early at the end of the season.”This is the last press conference on Säbener Straße. We have not found an agreement for further cooperation. That’s why it remains the agreement in February,” Tuchel said on Friday in the press conference before his last game as Bayern coach this Saturday at TSG Hoffenheim. “Last week there was only the theoretical possibility of making a 180-degree turnaround. The initiative came from the club,” said Tuchel. It was difficult for him to leave the team.
No successor in sight for Thomas Tuchel at FC Bayern
After the Bayern bosses had not found a successor in recent months, the agreed termination of the contract with the 50-year-old Tuchel was reconsidered after strong performances in the Champions League.
When looking for a coach, Bayern had to remove several top candidates such as Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen), Julian Nagelsmann (national coach) and Ralf Rangnick (Austria national coach) from the list of candidates. Contacts with other trainers such as the former Wolfsburg and Frankfurter Oliver Glasner were also unsuccessful.
The Munich team decided to part ways with Tuchel at the end of the season in February. The former Champions League winner with FC Chelsea only won the championship with the Munich team in more than a year in the 2022/23 season, in which he came to Munich in March 2023 as Nagelsmann’s successor. This season the team was dethroned in the championship by Bayer 04 Leverkusen after eleven titles in a row.
