After a few days of uncertainty, there was ultimately no change in the situation. Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich will indeed part ways at the end of this 34th and final day of the Bundesliga. At the final whistle of this match at Hoffenheim around 5:30 p.m. this Saturday, the former PSG will no longer be the coach of the Bavarian giant. “This is the last press conference in Säbener Straße (Bayern’s training center, editor’s note). The February agreement remains. There were other discussions, but we did not reach an agreement.assured TT yesterday.

He then explained the reasons which pushed him to leave. “Last week there was actually only the theoretical possibility of making a 180-degree turnaround, because there was the initiative of the club. The reasons why we had to separate are minimal. That’s how it is and it’s a good thing. There was a very, very eventful last week. It (the negotiations) happened between Thursday, after the match against Real Madrid, until yesterday. The February agreement remains. There were discussions, but we did not reach an agreement. So it stays like that”.

Tuchel wanted an extension

We had to wait a few hours to find out more about this confirmed divorce. If Tuchel mentioned “minimal reasons”, they are still sizeable. According to information from Sky Sport Germany, this is a problem of contract duration. Initially, the German was to continue the adventure until 2025. The management did not offer him an extension of this lease, where he demanded a term until 2026. This additional year would have confirmed the club’s intentions to do so. keep it for the long term, and not make it a simple patch.

In Bavaria, we are eyeing a certain Jürgen Klopp. He will leave Liverpool after nine seasons but wants to take a little rest before starting a new project. All the boxes are checked for 2025, and therefore a departure from Tuchel at this deadline. Impossible for the 50-year-old technician who prefers to leave now rather than help out a club, which no longer wanted him last February. Uli Hoeness’s criticisms also marked him despite a discussion between the two men. Tuchel prefers to leave especially since England, MU in the lead, has not forgotten him.
