Bayern first explains the bang – and then introduces their new coach. A performance in two acts.

The day after the coach bang. At the press conference, Bayern bosses explain their decision to fire Julian Nagelsmann (35) and appoint Thomas Tuchel (49) as the new coach. There is a gloomy mood when CEO Oliver Kahn (53) speaks. He didn’t sleep well one night. “Those are the parts of the job that aren’t particularly fun.”

Kahn vehemently denied that Nagelsmann’s firing was a short-circuit reaction. “There was a panic reaction. It has nothing to do with panic. We’ve looked at everything carefully.”

One wondered where the team’s performance fluctuations came from, according to the Bayern legend. “We have one of the best teams in Europe. However, the continuity of the team did not improve. We cannot be satisfied with the results and the performances shown.”

Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic (46) also speaks mainly about the varying performances: “This is no longer a phase. If the performance curve is constantly going down, the players are not in top shape, then you have to react. » Nagelsmann is a top coach, says Salihamidzic. And continues to emphasize the top selection that Bayern has – curated by him. But: “The setup just wasn’t right.”

This is how Nagelsmann responded

The fired coach took the bad news calmly. “Of course you’re angry and you’re trying to understand,” says Kahn. But: “He was very open and we explained the situation to him. He picked it up and understood.”

You can see that Bayern want to finish with Nagelsmann. art break. Kahn and Salihamidzic go out – return after a few minutes with the new one. Tuchel appears before the media. The mood? Better.

He knows exactly what to expect from Bayern: “Bayern’s DNA is an obligation. It’s about winning. Also about the way. It’s clear, there can be no misunderstandings. With this team you can play for any title. It’s a great obligation for me.”

Tuesday there was contact with Tuchel

The Bavarians decided to say goodbye to Nagelsmann shortly before midnight on Sunday after the defeat against Leverkusen. Salihamidzic called Tuchel on Tuesday. “He asked, ‘What do you want?’ And I said, ‘If you don’t feel like it, hang up.'” It says, laughing.

Bayern were convinced that they needed a top man. With a lot of experience. Without a doubt, Tuchel has it. He won titles with Dortmund, PSG and Chelsea – culminating in a Champions League triumph in 2021.

«Tuchel hot from the first second»

Salihamidzic: «We met on Tuesday evening and had very good conversations. He was very hot from the first second.”

Tuchel was very surprised by the request. “Then I had to sleep on it.” But the scale of the task soon appealed to him.

On April 1, Tuchel and Bayern meet leader and ex-club Dortmund. There is not much time for the summit meeting, the national players are not available at the moment. “I have ideas and I’m really looking forward to the team. But now I have to wait.” He wants to spend the time until the first real training next Friday on analysis.

“It’s a big game on Saturday: it’s about building confidence and arousing anticipation.”
