Recent reports have indicated that Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel is set to depart from the club at the end of the season. Despite leading the team to the semifinals of the Champions League, Tuchel is reportedly eyeing a return to the Premier League. Tuchel previously managed Chelsea from January 2021 to September 2022 and it seems that he has a preference for working in England once again.
While there is interest from Barcelona to potentially bring Tuchel on board as their new manager, the 50-year-old seems to have reservations about the stability of the club. Reports suggest that Tuchel is concerned about the lack of transfer funds at Barcelona, which could hinder his plans to strengthen the squad. Despite being considered as a candidate to replace Xavi Hernandez, who is also set to leave his post this summer, Tuchel’s focus appears to be on a potential return to the Premier League.
Furthermore, Tuchel would be open to discussing a move to Manchester United if a vacancy were to arise. The current United boss, Erik ten Hag, is reportedly under pressure after a disappointing second season in charge. With Champions League qualification appearing to be slipping out of reach, there are rumblings within the club that Ten Hag’s position may be in jeopardy. Should Ten Hag depart, sources suggest that there is support within Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s team for Tuchel to potentially take over at Old Trafford.
Although Tuchel has enjoyed success in the Champions League with Bayern this season, leading the team to the semifinals, the domestic campaign has been underwhelming. Bayern surrendered the German title for the first time since 2012 and suffered an early exit in the German cup. It was announced in February that Tuchel would be leaving Bayern at the end of the season, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding his future.
Despite interest from top clubs like Barcelona and potentially Manchester United, it remains to be seen where Thomas Tuchel will land next. The upcoming summer transfer window promises to be an intriguing one as Tuchel weighs his options and contemplates his next career move. The decision to return to the Premier League or potentially take on a new challenge at Barcelona will undoubtedly shape the next chapter in Tuchel’s managerial career.
