 Julian Nagelsmann 'sacked' by Bayern Munich with Thomas Tuchel tipped as quickfire replacement

Bayern Munich has reportedly sacked Julian Nagelsmann from his position as manager, with former Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel rumored to be his quickfire replacement. The decision to sack Nagelsmann comes after just one season with the German giants, during which he was unable to win any major trophies.

Nagelsmann, who was appointed as Bayern manager in July 2021, had been seen as a promising young coach, having led RB Leipzig to the Champions League semifinals in 2020. However, he struggled to make an impact at Bayern, with the team currently sitting in second place behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga.

According to reports, Bayern made the decision to part ways with Nagelsmann following a string of disappointing results, including a 3-2 loss to Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga and a 2-1 defeat to PSG in the Champions League.

Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked by PSG in December 2021, is rumored to be the frontrunner to replace Nagelsmann at Bayern. The German coach has a strong record, having previously led Borussia Dortmund to two Bundesliga titles and PSG to back-to-back Ligue 1 titles.

Tuchel's potential appointment at Bayern could also have implications for the managerial merry-go-round in Europe, with Tottenham Hotspur previously linked with the German coach. It remains to be seen whether Spurs will turn their attention to other candidates or stick with their current manager, Jose Mourinho.

Overall, the news of Nagelsmann's departure from Bayern comes as a surprise, given the high expectations that were placed on him when he was appointed last summer. The decision to replace him with Tuchel, if confirmed, could signal a new era for the Bavarian club, as they look to regain their dominance in German and European football.

 

 

d has caught the attention of several top European clubs with his impressive performances in the Primera Division.

Retegui made his debut for Tigre in 2018 and has since established himself as one of the team's key players. He has scored five goals and provided three assists in 24 appearances this season, attracting interest from clubs across Europe.

According to reports, Roma and Milan are among the frontrunners to sign Retegui this summer, with both teams looking to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new season. The two clubs have reportedly made initial contact with Tigre regarding a potential transfer, with negotiations said to be ongoing.

Roma is believed to be keen to bring Retegui to the Stadio Olimpico as a long-term replacement for Edin Dzeko, while Milan sees the young Argentine as a potential partner for star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Retegui's impressive performances have also caught the eye of other top European clubs, including Atletico Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain. However, it remains to be seen which team will ultimately secure his signature.

If Roma or Milan are successful in their pursuit of Retegui, the young forward would become the latest Argentine player to ply his trade in Serie A. The Italian league has long been a popular destination for Argentine players, with the likes of Diego Maradona, Gabriel Batistuta, and Lionel Messi all enjoying successful spells in Italy.

As negotiations continue, football fans across Europe will be keeping a close eye on the situation to see where Retegui ultimately ends up. One thing is for sure, whoever manages to sign him will be getting a talented young player with a bright future ahead of him.
