Breaking: possible Wenger successor sacked by Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have sacked their manager Thomas Tuchel, according to reports in Germany. The contract of the German manager was due to expire in 2018 but Borussia Dormtund have unexpectedly decided to part companies with the talented manager one year before the natural expiration of his contract.

Tuchel was among a host of credible candidates to take over at Arsenal in case Wenger would have not been offered a new deal by the Gunners.

​Although the Frenchman is expected to sign a new two-year deal with Arsenal in the next few days, the sacking of Tuchel could change the scenario at the Emirates Stadium as the German is one of the most appreciated managers in North London.

​There are still few details emerging from German media regarding the sacking of Tuchel but calciomercato.com will provide you some more information as soon as we get it.
Tuchel has confirmed the club’s decision through his official Twitter account.

“I am grateful for two beautiful, eventful and exciting years. Too bad that it [his experience at BVB] can’t continue”, Tuchel said.

Rumour has it his character was too strong for both the management and some of the players. According to German media, some of the players have even said to the management it was either him or them. His possible replacements are Favre of Nice and Stöger of Köln. Nagalesmann have already rejected them as he prefers to stay at Hoffenheim for another year.

Yeah from what I understand it was a beef with the upper level management. Hadn't heard anything about player ultimatums until now.

I had read it on Goal's German edition. That source is usually unreliable but, according to some twitter users, the author of that article is trustworthy. I don't remember any Dortmund player supporting the coach in public recently. Even if it didn't come to ultimatums things must have been pretty bad.

The relationship between Tuchel and the CEO of Dortmund Watzke wasn't great at all which is the main reason to why he got sacked.

just give Bayern their damn silver plate already...no need they even play the competition

Thats the kind of shit you dream of building on FIFA

It's a shame that whenever someone comes close to competing with them, they just buy their players

 

[thatdude]

And they will add Gorezka on a free next year

VAR needed for this Bayern goal. Kimmich looked obviously offside, but they still allowed it? Interesting

Rode is a traitor

I bet that shit will happen most of the time with juve.

Absurd tbh. It was clear offside, but they're saying they won't overturn unless it's "really clear"...Like wtf?

VAR will make conspiracy theories even worse and yes, we can see Juve getting the "benefit of the doubt" and all "marginal" calls

Bayern got lucky. Despite this, I have a feeling Dortmund will be Bundesliga champions especially their squad is more younger and dynamic than Bayern.

Speaking of VAR, that happened yesterday in Dutch Super Cup.

What clear offsides? It was very close and in the replay i would have also said that it probably was on side. Was a very close call but no way was this a clear offsides.

~ 1:30

The linesman got caught NOT being in line with the last defender (he was running up the field), making it difficult for him to make the call. In this case, very easy for VAR to use the lines on the field and in 2 seconds, say he is offside. That should be the point of VAR.

lol it took the referee more than two minutes... that's weird enough, even without considering the goal inbetween
