This summer, Thomas Tuchel will return to the market after he and his Bayern Munich paymasters were unable to come to an understanding on some matters.
Since February, it has been known that the former Chelsea manager would be departing the Bavarians; nevertheless, Tuchel seems to have received an olive branch after Xabi Alonso, Julian Nagelsmann, and Ralf Rangnick declined the chance to take over.
Negotiations started on an improbable turn by the team, but Tuchel required specific assurances in order to come to an agreement.
Thomas Tuchel might be able to return to the Premier League.
“Thomas Tuchel has acknowledged in public that he spoke with Bayern about his authority during the summer transfer window. For both to jointly determine which players can be brought in and which roles to fill,” Fabrizio Romano stated to CaughtOffside during his Daily Briefing.
In addition to wanting a contract extension, he wanted the full support of the supervisory board, including Rummenigge, in order to avoid any internal issues.
Thus, three important elements.
“But they were unable to come to a consensus, thus Tuchel is departing Bayern immediately. From what I’ve heard, he is willing to start working again this summer.
“Tuchel is willing to work anywhere, but he would particularly like to be back in the Premier League in England. It’s quiet right now, but let’s see whether he can locate the appropriate opening. New prospects will now be discussed internally at Bayern.
As a result of that choice, any team can now approach Tuchel this summer.
In the event that Man United decides to fire Erik ten Hag following what has been a disappointing season by the Red Devils’ standards, they will be the early favorites because of a manifest desire to coach in the Premier League again.
There was not even the solace of a run in the Europa League after finishing last in their group in the Champions League.
The record of most losses in an English premier league campaign hasn’t improved the Dutchman’s standing either.
Nevertheless, United has a remote possibility of qualifying for Europe in 2024–2025 as they approach their final Premier League match of the 2023–2024 season.
Stranger things have happened, despite the doubts of many that they can defeat Man City in the FA Cup. Who can forget, after all, how Wigan Athletic defeated City to win the title in 2013 thanks to a late winner?
Considering how many injuries to important players Ten Hag has had to cope with this season, a victory at Wembley would well make Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his board reconsider their options.
