An update has emerged on Thomas Tuchel’s future at Bayern Munich amid links to Manchester United.
Following a challenging season for the German giants, where Bayern relinquished their Bundesliga dominance to Bayer Leverkusen, Tuchel is poised to part ways with the club. The news was substantiated by acclaimed Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano, who shared insights via his social media platform.
“Discussions between Tuchel’s agent and Bayern remain ongoing after meeting at club’s headquarters.”
“The crucial points for Tuchel to stay are the total approval from supervisory board and contract extension.”
“Tuchel wants to feel full confidence in order to accept to stay.”
Romano revealed ongoing discussions between Tuchel’s agent and Bayern officials, emphasising pivotal factors for Tuchel’s potential retention, including the full confidence and approval of the supervisory board, along with a contract extension.
Bayern’s setbacks in both the Champions League, bowing out in the semi-finals to Real Madrid, and the DFB Pokal, exiting in the second round earlier in the season, compounded the challenges faced by Tuchel and the club.
Tuchel, who assumed the helm at Bayern in 2023, leaving behind disputes with Chelsea’s ownership in 2022, notably clinched the Bundesliga title during his tenure.
Against this backdrop, Manchester United’s interest in Tuchel has intensified in recent weeks, amid uncertainties surrounding current manager Erik ten Hag’s future at Old Trafford. As the managerial carousel turns, Tuchel’s potential departure from Bayern and his prospective role at Manchester United add further intrigue to the football landscape.
