Thomas Tuchel had planned to find another job in the Premier League before Bayern Munich came calling.
The German giants have sprung something of a surprise by axing Julian Nagelsmann, but moved quickly to hire Tuchel as his replacement at the Allianz Arena. The former Chelsea boss, sacked earlier this season, was among the most desired coaches currently out of a job earlier this week.
Tuchel had been heavily linked with the Tottenham role, which is expected to become vacant with Antonio Conte's time seemingly up in north London. It has also been claimed that Tuchel had his heart set on remaining and England and taking a job in the Premier League as part of his 'original plan'.
