Bayern Munich

The former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is in line to take over at Bayern Munich after Julian Nagelsmann was sacked by the Bavarian giants.

The winner of that tie will face Real Madrid or Chelsea in the semi-final. His Chelsea side defeated Manchester City in the 2021 final and by coincidence Bayern now face Pep Guardiola’s team in the quarter-finals of this year’s competition.

For Tuchel, it is the second chance to take over the Rekordmeister. This time the deal appears to be done, but whether all sides will be happy with the decision remains to be seen. But it was not just the talent that struggled to make their marks. As reports grew that he might take on another club soon, Bayern might have just made an opportunistic decision to secure the right coach now rather than being without an alternative later this season. Good performances in the Champions League were followed by poor games in the Bundesliga. Neither has been given the time by Nagelsmann to show their talent. Nagelsmann, who is currently on a ski holiday in Austria, will be officially informed by the club on Friday, and at that point, a club statement can also be expected. The Leverkusen game, in fact, may have sealed a process that has been going on for some time. In the Champions League, the German giants won eight out of eight games, conceding just two goals and keeping a clean sheet against giants like Inter Milan, Barcelona, and PSG—the only team to score against Bayern was tiny Viktoria Plzen from the Czech Republic. Under Nagelsmann, Bayern has dominated every opponent, and the recent tie against PSG, in particular, was impressive. While Dayot Upamecano’s red card can excuse the defeat to Gladbach, the performance against Leverkusen, particularly, concerned the Bayern bosses. Most recently, the performances against Gladbach and Leverkusen come to mind.

[Leipzig](https://theathletic.com/football/team/leipzig/), Nagelsmann made his name by always picking different line-ups tailored to the specific challenges of each game. To be sure, all these misgivings would have dispersed had Bayern found consistency or a sense of progress, but neither have been forthcoming since the winter break. The 27-year-old was poor in the second half in the 1-1 draw in January, a result that ushered in another mini-crisis. It didn’t help team morale that Salihamidzic and Kahn, determined to back Nagelsmann to the hilt, blamed the squad’s poor mentality after bad results instead of analysing the underlying reasons for Bayern’s diminished dominance. [World Cup](https://theathletic.com/football/world-cup/) winner — won him few friends in the squad, as did his decision to substitute talisman Thomas Muller a few minutes into the defeat at Gladbach. While some players who had experienced Pep’s exacting standards and his constant adjustment to the opposition were at ease with Nagelsmann’s attempts at micro-management, a sizeable contingent found him overbearing. Bayern’s build-up play through the centre-backs was a particular problem against high-pressing sides in recent weeks, but Nagelsmann resisted attempts by seasoned players to modify the setup. There is plenty of embarrassment and regret in Munich over the manner of the 35-year-old’s departure, but not about the decision itself. Until a few days ago, the club’s preference was to leave Nagelsmann in situ and then make a clean break in the summer. He recently re-introduced a 4-2-3-1/3-2-4-1 hybrid system that was sometimes the best of both worlds but more often a confusing compromise. The fear of missing out on the proven winner and most successful German coach after Jurgen Klopp in recent years for a second time, five years later, had Bayern bring his appointment forward. The worst showing in a season that had already seen its fair share of poor results — Bayern haven’t been this bad for 11 years in the league — stoked fears the entire campaign might disintegrate next month.
