Thomas Tuchel has already been identified as potential replacement for Erik ten Hag as manager of Manchester United

The departure of a past Champions League winner from Bayern Munich at the end of the season represents a big shift for the club, which faces the unusual potential of finishing the season without a trophy.

Bayern’s Bundesliga dominance, having won the title for 11 straight seasons, is being challenged by an invigorated Bayer Leverkusen, who presently lead by eight points.

This season, Bayern has endured three consecutive defeats in all competitions, a rare occurrence since 2015, whilst Leverkusen is undefeated with an incredible 32-game streak that includes 28 victories and four ties.

Thomas Tuchel, the current Bayern manager, may be replaced by Bayer Leverkusen’s Xabi Alonso or possibly by Liverpool, despite expressing a desire to return to the Premier League due to feeling underappreciated in Germany.

According to reports, Tuchel is interested in taking over Manchester United, but there is no sign that current manager Erik ten Hag’s position is under urgent jeopardy, despite prior pressure this season.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, United’s new owner, emphasises the importance of quality in key positions and a competitive yet supportive workplace. While there is no indication that Ten Hag will leave soon, the club is under pressure to accomplish its season goals.

Tuchel, who was fired by Chelsea despite winning many titles, including the Champions League, believes he has unfinished business in the Premier League.

He has been linked with moves to Liverpool and Barcelona as well.

Tuchel’s career at Chelsea ended abruptly after major investment in new acquisitions, although he was fired in September 2022 despite past success.

Despite guiding Chelsea to three domestic cup finals, he failed to win any of them.
