Tuchel, is it over at Bayern?

For his first full season on the Bayern Munich bench, Thomas Tuchel is currently far from achieving his objectives. Sadly eliminated by Saarbrücken (German D3) last November, in the round of 16 of the German Cup (2-1), beaten last Sunday by Bayer Leverkusen (3-0) and now left behind in the title race in Bundesliga, the coach plays Wednesday evening with his team, a round of 16 first leg of the capital Champions League, on the field of Lazio Rome (9 p.m.). But isn’t the tactician already looking after himself? In Spain, this is an option that has been confirmed.

Wednesday, Mundo Deportivo made a revelation about the former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach. The Spanish media stated neither more nor less that “ the entourage of (Thomas) Tuchel decided to offer him to FC Barcelona “. He also adds that Barça president Juan Laporta is interested in the profile of German coaches in general, and Thomas Tuchel in particular. The latter’s business card could also work in his favor, he who notably won the Champions League during his time at Chelsea.

Mourinho on the lookout

At the end of January, Thomas Tuchel had already alerted the Spanish media, a few days after the announcement of the departure of Xavi Hernandez at the end of the season. The German had notably explained that the strange still attracted him as much, describing La Liga as “ exceptional league “. Words that obviously did not fall on deaf ears on the other side of the Pyrenees. This Wednesday, MD continued by concluding on Tuchel’s potential successors at Bayern Munich. José Mourinho and Hansi Flick have been cited among the serious candidates of the moment.

If real contacts have been established between FC Barcelona and the Tuchel clan, as claimed Mundo Deportivo, everything still has time to evolve in one direction or another. Bayern are still qualified for the Champions League and despite being five points behind Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, they are still far from having given up in the title race.
