Premier League manager has been sacked this evening and replaced with former Chelsea Boss Thomas Tuchel!
Manchester United has reportedly initiated discussions with Thomas Tuchel, the current manager of Bayern Munich, regarding potential succession plans for Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. Speculation regarding the Dutchman’s future is rife amidst a turbulent season with the Red Devils, fueling anticipation of a managerial change despite ten Hag’s contract extending until 2025.
Georg Holzner of Kicker suggests that talks between United and Tuchel have already taken place, potentially offering the former Chelsea coach an exit route from the Bundesliga. Tuchel, who joined Bayern in March 2023, is anticipated to depart at the end of the ongoing season.
Reports indicate that Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a co-owner of United, is keen on securing Tuchel’s services as part of his team restructuring efforts for the upcoming 2024–2025 campaign. With a decorated managerial record including two Ligue 1 titles, the Bundesliga, and a Champions League trophy, Tuchel’s pedigree aligns with Ratcliffe’s ambitions. Despite Bayern conceding the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen, Tuchel’s side advanced to this year’s UEFA Champions League semi-finals after overcoming Arsenal.
Following a narrow victory over Coventry City to reach the FA Cup final at Wembley, ten Hag faced heightened scrutiny, yet he praised his team’s resilience in securing the result. In a dramatic semi-final encounter, United surrendered a 3-0 lead before ultimately prevailing in extra time via a penalty shootout against the Championship team. United’s last chance for silverware this season rests on the FA Cup final, where they face a daunting task in overcoming Manchester City, the reigning champions, to claim the trophy.
