The most fun league to watch right now, the race is the closest.

Close fight for league title. Fight for CL places. Fight for European places. Insane fight for relegation. And of course entertaining matches and incredible stadium atmosphere as always.

It's official. Tuchel becomes new Bayern coach after they sacked Nagelsmann with an immediate effect.

That was quick :lol:

There goes the argument no serious club would fire the coach in March and no serious coach would take the job

Shame, I would’ve liked Tuchel.

For what it’s worth, I also would like Nagelsmann. We’d need to give him a decent squad though, which we can’t afford.

He had issues with Neuer for sure because of GK coach. He had also benched Muller many times this season and he wanted to make Kimmich captain next season so he wanted to make big changes. Neuer and Muller are so powerful inside Bayern organization that they had also got Ancelotti fired in the past. So far what Bayern board leak to German media is they feared treble was at risk and there would have been too much competition for Tuchel in the summer.

This decision also has internal background at Bayern. It's a win of Rummennige side and a loss of Hoeneß side. Rummenigge wanted to bring Tuchel for years but Uli always blocked it.

The football world is getting sicker and sicker and there is no cure. He is still in the race for 3 prizes. You buy a trainer for 25 million and then after 3 quarters of a year you say: this is not him, we will throw you out and bring back someone who has been fired everywhere because he had problems with players and / or management.

Give trainers longer than 6 months to achieve something. You knew what kind of person Nagelsmann was. In the documentary about Bayern on Amazon, they were still so proud that they had made it.

Tuchel will have the same problems with Muller and Neuer who are not getting any younger and will eventually have to be replaced.

Come on, they saw that he is bottling the Bundesliga. It's a must for them to win it every year, if you are not convincing in the league and you're coaching Bayern it's expected you'd get sacked.

They expect Tuchel to make instant impact, win them the league and he has a good record in the CL recently.

It might not work but I can see why they did it.

Bottling? He's 1 point behind in the Bundesliga with 9 games to go? Bayern has an ''easy'' schedule with most of the difficult opponents at home. They will win the Bundesliga with any coach. I just don't understand why you would spend 25M for a coach and than sack him after 8 months.

What are they going to do if Tuchel don't win the Bundesliga in the end? Are they going to sack him in the summer and get another coach? Imo was Bayern a stable club without the craziness of Barca, Real, Manchester etc and now the pressure is getting to them it seems.

Neuer and Muller are old and will be replaced eventually and they need to back the coach if this happens.

Weakened a rival?

Players run Bayern, don't forget that. Ex and present.

See above.
Müller as some sort of director at Bayern is a lock.
Neuer probably, too.

Only once, with Chelsea, his debut season.
I mean this year as well 😈

Anyway it’s definitely board problem not result problem leading to Nagelsmann sacking. They announced Tuchel like 10 or 15 mins after that means decision was made long before, just waiting for international break to make less impact.
