Former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will make his return to management at Bayern Munich taking over from Julian Nagelsmann who has been sacked. News broke, via Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, on Thursday evening that Nagelsmann was at risk of losing his job at Allianz Arena with the Bayern hierarchy looking at appointing Tuchel in his place and that managerial decision has now been confirmed.
In a statement posted by Bayern, the club revealed the dismissal of Nagelsmann, along with the arrival of Tuchel. The statement read: "FC Bayern and head coach Julian Nagelsmann have parted company. This decision was taken by CEO Oliver Kahn and board member for sport Hasan Salihamidžić in consultation with club president Herbert Hainer. Nagelsmann will be succeeded by Thomas Tuchel."
Bayern also confirmed Tuchel has signed a contract until 2025 and will join up with the squad next Monday. Following his sacking at Chelsea in September 2022, Tuchel has spent the last six months away from football, but the former Borussia Dortmund head coach will now return at the helm of his old clubs' rivals.
