Thomas Tuchel is set to depart Bayern Munich at the end of the current season, marking the end of his tenure with the German giants. The decision comes after weeks of speculation and reports indicating that Bayern Munich and Tuchel have mutually agreed to part ways.
Tuchel, who took charge of Bayern Munich in March last year, had an impressive start by guiding the team to the Bundesliga title in his debut season.
However, the second season has proven to be more challenging, with Bayern currently trailing behind Bayer Leverkusen by five points in the Bundesliga standings. A recent 3-0 defeat to Leverkusen and a 1-0 loss to Lazio in the Champions League Round of 16 have intensified the pressure on Tuchel.
The decision for Tuchel to leave at the end of the season was reportedly reached through “good and fair” talks between the coach and the club. An official announcement is expected to be made imminently, according to Sky Germany.
This development signifies the end of an era for Tuchel at Bayern Munich, and the club will soon embark on the search for a new head coach.
The decision to part ways comes amid the team’s quest for success in both domestic and international competitions, with the hope that a fresh perspective at the helm will rejuvenate the squad and address the challenges faced during Tuchel’s second season.
