Previously in charge at Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea, Thomas Tuchel arrives at the Allianz Arena on a contract that runs until June 30, 2025.

Tuchel comes as replacement for Julian Nagelsmann.
According to FC Bayern Munich app news, the decision was taken by CEO Oliver Kahn and board member for sport, Hasan Salihamidžić, in consultation with club president, Herbert Hainer.
The new coach will lead his first training session at Säbener Straße on Monday, ahead of the following weekend’s Der Klassiker meeting against Dortmund.

Nagelsmann departs with his side in second place in the Bundesliga standings, one point behind leaders BVB, while Bayern are also in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

“When we signed Julian Nagelsmann for FC Bayern in the summer of 2021, we were convinced we would work with him on a long-term basis – and that was the goal of all of us right up to the end. Julian shares our aspiration to play successful and attractive football,” said CEO Kahn.
“But now we have come to the conclusion that the quality in our squad – despite the Bundesliga title last year – has come to the fore less and less often. After the World Cup we have played less successfully and less attractively.

“The big fluctuations in performance have cast doubt on our goals for this season, but also our goals for the future.

“That is why we have acted now. Personally and on behalf of FC Bayern, I would like to thank Julian and his coaching team, and wish everyone the best of luck for the future,” he said.

Salihamidžić said the decision has been the most difficult in his time as a board member for sport at Bayern Munich.

“I have had an open, trusting, friendly relationship with Julian from day one,” Salihamidžić said.

“I regret the parting of the ways with Julian. But after a thorough analysis of the sporting development of our team, especially since January and with the experience of the second half of the previous season, we have now decided to release him.

“I am very grateful to Julian for what he has done for FC Bayern and I wish him all the best,” he added.

According to Bundesliga ESPN, Nagelsmann, 35, came to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2021 and won the German title in his first season, as well as the German Supercup in 2021 and 2022.

Thomas Tuchel, at 49, was most recently employed by Chelsea. He won the Champions League with Chelsea in May 2021, followed by the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup, and was voted World Coach of the Year in 2021.

With Paris St. Germain, Tuchel won the French title in 2018/19 and 2019/2020 as well as the French Cup and League Cup in 2020.

In August 2020 his PSG side reached the final of the Champions League tournament in Lisbon, losing to FC Bayern. In the Bundesliga, Tuchel worked for 1.

FSV Mainz 05 from 2009 to 2014, then for Borussia Dortmund for two years (2015 – 2017). In 2017 he won the DFB Cup with BVB.
