Thomas Tuchel decides not to stay on as Bayern Munich coach
German professional coach Thomas Tuchel has decided not to continue as the manager of Bayern Munich, sticking to his earlier decision to leave the club at the end of the season.
Discussions were ongoing between the agent of the former Chelsea coach and Bayern officials at the club’s headquarters, with crucial points for Tuchel to stay on as Bayern coach being worked out.
However, per Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, the coach has issued a statement saying that he will not continue as Bayern coach and is ready for a new challenge.
Tuchel said that his decision to step down at the end of the season as Bayern coach still stands as he was unable to reach an agreement with the club to stay on.
He said, “The feedback from recent weeks was the foundation for us having a discussion to stay and continue together, but we couldn’t reach an agreement.”.
“I won’t name the reasons. As the agreement from February stands, I am leaving Bayern.
“This is my last press conference as FC Bayern manager.
“There were talks, but we didn’t reach an agreement… so the decision of February still stands,” Tuchel noted.
Reports say Tuchel remains open to working for a new club next season after leaving FC Bayern, as he’s always been open to experiences abroad and remains keen on working again in England.
