March 24, (THEWILL) – Bayern Munich is on the verge of sacking manager, Julian Nagelsmann, according to reports monitored by THEWILL.
The 35-year-old coach has led Bayern to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, but has struggled domestically, with the club currently sitting in second place in the Bundesliga. Furthermore, his relationship with the Bayern hierarchy has reportedly soured in recent weeks, leading to the decision to part ways before the return of club football.
Bayern’s Sporting Director, Hasan Salihamidzic, is said to have played a significant role in the decision to dismiss Nagelsmann. The club is looking to find a high-profile replacement as soon as possible, with former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel believed to be in the running. Tuchel, who has been out of work since leaving Stamford Bridge earlier this season, is understood to have a verbal agreement with Bayern officials.
Bayern faces a crucial period of fixtures, including a clash with Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund on April 1, and a UCL quarter-final tie against Manchester City on April 11. Despite leading the league in scoring and boasting the best defensive record, Nagelsmann’s side has been inconsistent, leading to fan frustration.
With the extremely high standards at Bayern, this has not been well received and the club is keen to make a change in the dugout before the crucial matches ahead.
