- Story Text: Former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel began his new job as Bayern Munich coach on Tuesday (March 28), four days after the German champions parted ways with Julian Nagelsmann.
Bayern crashed out in the German Cup second round after a demolition by Borussia Moenchengladbach and were then eliminated from the Champions League in a quarter-final defeat to Spanish underdogs Villarreal last term.
Nagelsmann’s departure still came as a major surprise just as Bayern prepare to face leaders Borussia Dortmund next week in the Bundesliga and Manchester City in this season's Champions League quarter-finals on April 11.
Nagelsmann's successor Tuchel, who had been a long-time Bayern target since their first attempt to sign him in 2018, has penned a deal to 2025, Bayern said.
Tuchel won the Champions League for Chelsea in 2021 after replacing Frank Lampard but has been without a job since being sacked by the English side last year.
He built a reputation as a forward-thinking tactician in the Bundesliga during his time at Mainz 05 before taking over at Dortmund and leading them to German Cup success in 2017.
A perfectionist and master tactician, Tuchel is equally known for his at times difficult relationships with club bosses, including at Dortmund and Chelsea.
