I watched for 6 years and completed the appointment in 6 days. The ‘behind the scenes’ related to Thomas Tuchel’s appointment to Bayern Munich has been revealed.
Munich ousted manager Julian Nagelsmann and hired Tuchel. Munich announced on its official website on the 25th (Korean time) that “the club has sent coach Nagelsmann and appointed Tuchel as the new coach.” His contract expires in June 2025.
It’s a shocking command tower replacement. Coach Nagelsmann is a leader who has been acclaimed for his tactical ideas and the introduction of modern technology through Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig. He was a leader enough to entrust the future to, even considering that he has given up the top of the league to Borussia Dortmund.
Still, he made a bold decision. It was because of the desire to win.
Munich wanted a more experienced manager. The league against Dortmund, ‘Der Klassiker’, as well as a match against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) are ahead.
For this reason, coach Nagelsmann, who lost to Villarreal in the UCL quarterfinals last season, was sacked and coach Tuchel, who had won the UCL, was appointed.
Coach Tuchel was a talent that Munich had been looking at for six years. After Munich’s official announcement on the 25th, Germany’s ‘Bild’ revealed everything about the process of appointing coach Tuchel. The media said, “Coach Tuchel has already been in the nomination since 2017 when he was mentioned as the successor to Ancelotti.”
We also had an actual meeting after coach Jupp Heynkes took over as temporary manager. The media explained, “In February 2018,메이저놀이터 coach Tuchel and general manager Hasan Salihamizic exchanged opinions for more than three hours, but the meeting with Chairman Uli Hoenes did not take place.” .
Even after that, he consistently put coach Tuchel on the radar network. Munich have “closely tracked Tuchel’s development ever since”, with him learning “how to work with superstars like Kylian Mbappe and Neymar at Paris Saint-Germain” and meeting “coach Pep Guardiola” in the UCL quarter-finals. It is known that winning the big year by showing “how to deal with Man City” impressed the Munich leadership.
That’s why it was possible to speed up. Immediately after losing to Bayer 04 Leverkusen, Munich started contacting Tuchel’s manager, Olaf Minking, and succeeded in holding Tuchel in his arms just six days later.
