Bayern Munich has confirmed the appointment of Thomas Tuchel as their new manager after releasing Julian Nagelsmann from the manager position. 

   The club’s CEO, Oliver Kahn, has said the Bundesliga champions needed to go in a different direction and had to dismiss the 35-year-old. In a statement on Friday, Kahn pointed to the fact that Bayern has played less attractive football since football resumed following the World Cup in Qatar. But now we have  that the quality in our squad – despite the Bundesliga title last year – has come to the fore less and less often.

“After the World Cup we have played less successfully and less attractively,” Kahn said.

Nagelsmann spent less than two years in the Allianz Arena hot-seat having arrived in the summer of 2021 from Red Bull Leipzig. He won the Bundesliga title after his first season, as well as successive German Super Cups in 2021 and 2022.
