Bayern Munich have sacked head coach Julian Nagelsmann and have immediately confirmed his replacement as ex-Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel.
The news comes as quite the surprise to many considering Nagelsmann had hardly overseen a dire period while at the helm of the Bundesliga titans, but Bayern's chief executive officer and former player Oliver Kahn has laid bare the reasons behind why the club felt they needed to go in a different direction and dismiss the 35-year-old from his post.
In a statement released by the Bavarian giants that both declared Nagelsmann's departure and announced Tuchel's arrival, Kahn cited the fact that Bayern have played less attractive football since club action resumed following the Qatar World Cup late last year.
