It was recently announced that Thomas Tuchel, the current manager of Bayern Munich, will be leaving the team this summer. This decision came after discussions about Tuchel staying on as manager fell apart.
Tuchel, who previously managed Chelsea, surprised everyone when he announced in February that he would be stepping down at the end of the season after only 18 months in charge. Since then, Bayern has been in talks with various potential replacements, such as Ralf Rangnick, but have been turned down by many candidates.
Despite this being the first season in 12 years that Bayern has not won any trophies, the club's executives were eager to keep Tuchel on board and began negotiations earlier this week. Unfortunately, these talks were not successful and Tuchel will still be leaving as planned.
During a press conference, Tuchel confirmed this news, saying, "This is my last press conference at Säbener Strasse. There were talks, but we didn't reach an agreement, so the decision of February still stands." He also expressed his love for the job and the energy it brings him, but ultimately, the demands of the position were too much for him to continue.
Tuchel also reflected on the past season, acknowledging that a trophyless season is never satisfactory, but also pointing out the positives, such as their second place standing in the Bundesliga and their strong performance in the Champions League until their loss in the 87th minute. He stated, "We are very self-critical. We will never run away from responsibility. We have the right to walk out of this 15 month period with our heads held high."
He ended his statement by reminding everyone to remain focused on the team's upcoming game against Hoffenheim and to end the season on a positive note. As Tuchel prepares to move on from Bayern Munich, more updates will be shared in the future.
