Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is reportedly the most favorite candidate to replace Julian Nagelsmann if he is sacked from the Bayern Munich coach.
Two weeks ago, Tuchel surprisingly received a letter of dismissal from Chelsea after his team lost 0-1 to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.
The defeat in Croatia became the peak of Chelsea's inconsistency at the start of the 2022/2023 season. This is very ironic if you look at the fact that the Blues were the most extravagant club in the transfer market last summer.
The fate of Julian Nagelsmann
On the other hand, Nagelsmann with Bayern Munich also started the season less convincingly. So far Die Roten are still scattered in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings.
Last week, Bayern beat Barcelona 2-0 in the Champions League. However, after that Sadio Mane cs were forced to surrender 0-1 by Augsburg. This shows how inconsistent Bayern's performance is.
Although the season is still quite long, but the negative results at the start reportedly made the alarm lights in the Bayern Munich camp start to light up and Nagelsmann's position could be shaken.
Replaced by Tuchel?
German media, Bild assess that the Bayern camp is currently seriously considering sacking Nagelsmann. One thing that is the cause is because now Tuchel is available on the market.
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo claim that Tuchel could be an easy choice for Bayern if they finally oust Nagelsmann. However, so far Bayern still provide full support for the der trainer.
Apart from Bayern Munich, Tuchel has recently been linked with Juventus, who started the season poorly under Massimiliano Allegri.
