Thomas Tuchel is said to be aiming to return to England

Bundesliga

Thomas Tuchel and FC Bayern will go their separate ways at the end of this season. The people of Munich confirmed this on Wednesday. As part of a “sporting realignment”, FCB wants to install a new coach in the summer.

There are already plenty of rumors about possible successors; names like Zinédine Zidane, Hansi Flick and Ole Gunnar Solskjær have been circulating around Säbener Straße for days. Jürgen Klopp’s agent has already canceled the Munich team. The preferred candidate should be Xabi Alonso anyway.

It is still unclear whether the Bayer Leverkusen coach is available. But it is clear that he will finish this season with the Werkself. Together they still have the chance to win three titles this season.

Thomas Tuchel has not lost his standing in England

The title chances in Munich have dwindled enormously. FCB was eliminated from the DFB Cup early, in the Bundesliga the gap to leaders Leverkusen is eight points and in the Champions League the club lost the first leg of the round of 16 at Lazio Rome 0-1.

Given the already established separation, it does not seem out of the question that the Munich team will bring Tuchel’s farewell forward a few months in order to at least maintain a chance of winning the title.

This would be an additional blow to the neck for the trainer, but he doesn’t seem to have to worry too much about his future. Even if the less successful months at FC Bayern, in which he often appeared grumpy in front of the cameras, cost him respect in Germany, the 50-year-old is still enjoying it “Telegraph” still has a good standing in England.

The German had already worked there from January 2021 to September 2022, during which time he led Chelsea to triumph in the Champions League. Apparently Tuchel looks back fondly on his time on the island, as his preference is to return to England from the summer onwards.

Tuchel could also become national coach

According to the report, several options could open up. Liverpool FC is looking for a successor to Jürgen Klopp, who will leave the Reds in the summer after almost nine years. Xabi Alonso is said to be the preferred candidate – like at Bayern.

Manchester United could also be a possibility, as the Red Devils have been lagging behind their great demands for years. But it doesn’t necessarily have to result in a position at a club. The English national team is also conceivable.

Gareth Southgate is currently coaching the Three Lions, but what will happen to him after the European Championships in Germany remains to be seen. According to the report, Tuchel was already interested in taking over the position after the 2022 World Cup. But the FA stuck with Southgate at the time.

When and how exactly it will end for Tuchel in Munich: He should return to the big stage quickly.
