Thomas Tuchel has had a healthy dose of irony at Bayern Munich as his first three months in charge of the Bavarian giants teeters on the edge of total failure. Having been sacked by Chelsea in September he turned down ambitious approaches from several mid-table Premier League teams (not Chelsea) and joined the reigning German champions in April.
It came following the departure of highly-rated Julian Nagelsmann, who was dismissed with the 2020 Champions League winners second in the Bundesliga, in the domestic cup and still competing in Europe. Since then much has changed throughout the footballing world.
Antonio Conte was sacked in the same period with Tottenham initially linked with swooping in for Nagelsmann quickly. He has since been replaced not once but twice in interim charge in north London with neither being Nagelsmann. The 35-year-old has turned down the chance to become the next head coach there.
