Unaware Manchester City loanee Joao Cancelo was left shocked by a reporter who broke the news that he had a new Bayern Munich boss following Portugal’s 4-0 Euro 2024 qualifying win over Liechtenstein on Thursday evening.
The German giants, who trail Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga by a point, dismissed Julian Nagelsmann before quickly announcing the appointment of Thomas Tuchel, who subjected Cancelo and City to defeat in the 2021 Champions League final while manager of Chelsea.
Cancelo will take on his parent club in the competition in next month’s quarter-finals with European competition loan rules allowing him to face City. The Bayern squad will be looking for a new-manager-bounce as they travel to the Etihad before the return leg a week later.
