Thomas Tuchel has the blues. On September 7, the German technician was thanked by Todd Boehly and the new management of Chelsea. The new London leaders were disappointed by the summer transfer market, they who had given great responsibilities to TT in particular that of piloting recruitment to build a competitive team capable of competing with Manchester City and Liverpool. But the choices of the former PSG coach, such as not recruiting Cristiano Ronaldo, have cooled Boehly and his teams. To this, it must be added that the residents of Stamford Bridge have chained poor results in all competitions.
The German wants to quickly return to service
In the Premier League, they started with three wins, one draw and two losses. In the Champions League, Tuchel’s team lost on the first day against Dinamo Zagreb (1-0, September 7). A defeat that definitively sealed the fate of the 49-year-old German. The next day, the English formalized his departure. “Chelsea Football Club parted ways with manager Thomas Tuchel today. On behalf of everyone at Chelsea FC, the club would like to express their gratitude to Thomas and his team for all their hard work during their time at the club. Thomas will rightly have a place in Chelsea history after winning the Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup.”
A blow for Tuchel, who hoped to have more time to work with his team and recruits he personally chose like Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana, Raheem Sterling or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Now on the market, the coach, who worked for Stuttgart, Augsburg, Mainz, Dortmund, PSG and therefore Chelsea, has an interesting CV and solid high-level experience. Replaced by Graham Potter at Chelsea, he already has clear ideas about his future. In effect, sports picture reveals this Wednesday that Tuchel, who is currently still in London, wants to quickly return to service. He does not want to take a break or take a sabbatical.
Bayern Munich is very popular with Tuchel
He intends to find a club as soon as possible. Moreover, the German media indicates that joining Bayern Munich, where his name was mentioned recently, would please him a lot. He would even be ready to lower his salary and earn less money than in the Premier League to sit on the Munich bench or another. For their part, the Bavarians have not come into contact with Tuchel for the moment, they who officially still support Julian Nagelsmann. They dismiss the subject Tuchel to avoid putting pressure on their coach. The former Chelsea coach observes all this from quite a distance.
But there is no doubt that his name should quickly be mentioned if Nagelsmann, who is not unanimous in the locker room, were to leave. Moreover, Thomas Tuchel almost joined Munich in 2018. But not all Bavarian leaders agreed to recruit him at the time. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Hasan Salihamidzic, who had also invited Tuchel to his home in Grünwald in February 2018, were both ready to entrust him with the keys to the Bayern Munich first team. But Uli Hoeness was not convinced. Finally, the residents of the Allianz Arena had chosen Niko Kovac. Tuchel, had signed him at PSG. Four years after this missed meeting, the native of Krumbach and Bayern Munich could well unite.
