Thomas Tuchel will leave FC Bayern at the end of the current season. Now a report says: A large, traditional club is said to definitely want to sign the coach.
The coaching carousel at FC Bayern continues to turn. The German record champions are still looking for a new coach for the coming season, and numerous names are being discussed. But what will become of current coach Thomas Tuchel? The 50-year-old is known to be leaving Munich in the summer, and it is still unclear where Bayern will go. But now a new club could be emerging for Tuchel.
Because the “Kicker” reports: Manchester United is said to be interested in signing the coach. What’s more: There is said to have already been initial contact between the two sides. Accordingly, the new United co-owner James Ratcliffe is a Tuchel fan, he appreciates the German and has asked him – in case the “Red Devils” part ways with current coach Erik ten Hag.
According to the report, Tuchel is currently not considering any offers from other clubs and is fully focused on the rest of the season with FC Bayern.
Tuchel knows the Premier League
However, a job at Manchester United could actually be attractive for Tuchel: The football teacher already knows the Premier League from his time at Chelsea FC (2021-22), with whom he also won the Champions League. The task of leading United, a major club that has been in crisis for years, to success again could be tempting. The English record champions last won the title in England in 2013, and their city rivals Manchester City have long since overtaken the former top dogs.
Ten Hag is the eighth coach since the departure of iconic coach Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, but the Dutchman has also had little success so far. United are currently seventh in the Premier League.
