Bayern Munich ‘could SACK Nagelsmann, with Tuchel favourite to replace him’

Bayern Munich are ready to sack manager Julian Nagelsmann, with Thomas Tuchel agreeing to replace him at the Allianz Arena, according to reports in Germany.

The German giants, who have won the last 10 Bundesliga titles in a row, currently lie second in the league table, behind rivals Borussia Dortmund.

Nagelsmann, has won 60 of his 84 games in charge (71.4 per cent) since taking over in July 2021 but only has one Bundesliga trophy and two German Super Cups to his name across his tenure.

And with Bayern faltering in the league, club chiefs are giving serious consideration to axing the 35-year-old, according to football journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Romano claims that with discussions continuing internally over the decision, Nagelsmann may be shown the exit door ‘soon’, while adding that there is a ‘full agreement in place’ for Tuchel to take over, who has accepted the job.

Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has reportedly agreed to replace him

When asked if he has heard about rumours of his dismissal, Nagelsmann simply said: ‘Yes’, and when asked if the club has been in contact yet, he responded: ‘No, not yet’.

Romano added that contracts between Tuchel and Bayern ‘have been agreed’ and that ‘documents are being prepared tonight’. 

Tuchel, 49, has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea in September under the new ownership of Todd Boehly.

He has managed European giants like Dortmund and PSG and would bring an intimate knowledge of the German top-flight.
