It’s not an issue with tactics, from what I heard, but more about some personal relationships, and so this is why they both came to the decision to go their separate ways at the end of the season.

Tuchel wants to stay in football and return to managing as soon as possible, for sure. There have been links with Barcelona, but let’s see what Barca want…
