What Christopher Nkunku has told Tottenham about Julian Nagelsmann ahead of Chelsea transfer

Julian Nagelsmann is now out of work after Bayern Munich made the decision to sack the young German and appoint Thomas Tuchel. The decision made by Munich to part ways with Nagelsmann appears a baffling one as he has lost just three games in charge this season and recently oversaw a superb Champions League last-16 victory over Paris Saint-Germain.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news on Thursday evening before Bayern then confirmed the decision the following day with a club statement. It 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."

While the decision to relieve Nagelsmann of his duties seems a confusing one, the plan to appoint Tuchel as his successor certainly helps justify the managerial change.
