Bayern have sacked Nagelsmann and replaced him with Tuchel. We have broken down the full story and ask the important question on whether this was the right move by the German giants.
Thanks for the write up on your holiday. The fallout between Brazzo and Flick was the original sin for me. Then Bayern were forced to get nagelsmann a bit too early in his career and have to pay so much. So I agree the bosses should be questioned. Also Tuchel is pretty much unsackable now as no other German speaking coaches could replace him (possibly Streich or Glasner but they'd be gambles)
Excellent deep dive Manu. Thank you for taking the time off your vacation to do the article I really enjoyed it.
I do think Bayers is making a big mistake firing it’s Kapitäns when the real problem I believe is with the Generals! Kahn has always been a hot head and I’m not sure he’s leading this Bayern team in the right direction. With Karl Heinz gone and a lot of the senior players gone there is a vacuum a real leadership vacuum! Bayerns toxic culture the way they treat departing players and coaches and its constant need for perfection is unsustainable burn out is inevitable!
The short sighted reactionary decision making will hurt this Bayern team but be a relief for some of the other teams!
This is in turn will also be healthy for the Mannschaft!
Proof is in the pudding let’s see what Tuchel will do I think he will be good again short term!
Great article! I was a fan of Nagelsman (still am a fan of his) when he was at Hoffenheim and Leipzig and felt like I had to defend him to friends when Bayern would stumble essentially having me feel like I was over invested into the club. I feel like Bayern have done me a favor in a way sacking him cause now I can just watch the games and feel no need to defend coach if they slip up.
I hope Nagelsman does well at his next role, just hope it’s not PSG or Spurs since both are a mess in their own ways. The Tuchel hiring though may line up well with your guys prediction of Xabi Alonso one day being Bayern manager with 2 more seasons at Leverkusen.
