MUNICH, March 26 — Newly-appointed Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel said on Saturday he was “dumbstruck” at being offered the position after replacing the sacked Julian Nagelsmann.
Tuchel was fired by Chelsea in September despite leading the club to the Champions League title in 2021, and spoke to Bayern bosses late on Tuesday. Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic defended the move to get rid of 35-year-old Nagelsmann and denied the decision to hire Tuchel was done in panic.“We came to the conclusion that we needed a coach like this, who has gained a lot of experience, also abroad.
Bayern are still in the hunt for three trophies this season and midfielder Kimmich said the decision to part ways with Nagelsmann was a “disappointment”.
