Bayern Munich made the decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann so they did not miss out on the services of Thomas Tuchel to Tottenham, it has been claimed.
The German giants made the decision to jettison the former RB Leipzig boss during the international break despite being just one point off the top of the Bundesliga and still in the Champions League. The decision to sack Nagelsmann brings to an end a near two-year spell for him at the Allianz Arena.
He had helped Bayern to the Bundesliga title and two German Super Cups in that time but with a battle on their hands to continue their domestic dominance, the club has made the call to change head coach. Former Chelsea boss Tuchel is reportedly at the front of the queue to replace his compatriot and it appears that his availability forced the hierarchy in Bavaria to make a decision quicker than usual.
