Bayern Munich have announced the sacking of manager Julian Nagelsmann and the arrival of his successor, Thomas Tuchel.

[ESPN reported on Thursday](/football/bayern-munich-gerbayern_munich/story/4908582/bayern-munich-sack-naglesmannto-bring-in-tuchel-reports) that Bayern had dismissed the former [RB Leipzig](/soccer/team?id=11420) coach and were ready to bring in former [Chelsea](/soccer/team?id=363) boss Tuchel as a replacement.

[Real Madrid](https://www.managingmadrid.com) is already trying to secure the services of Julian Nagelsmann with whom [Los Blancos had contact already back in 2018](https://www.managingmadrid.com/2021/2/16/22285399/julian-nagelsmann-if-real-madrid-call-me-again-maybe-my-decision-is-different). It was [not something that was well accepted in the dressing room](https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1639291884450324482?s=20) and became a topic of discussion. As harsh as it may sound, he was in for the loss as soon as he accepted the job if Thomas Tuchel was the candidate Bayern was actually waiting for. Julian Nagelsmann was, in my humble opinion, the right person for the job, and with a little more patience, the long-term relationship could have come to fruition. Nagelsmann is a skilled coach, but he may not have been quite ready to handle the world of Bayern, where coaches and players are constantly scrutinized and where today’s victory means nothing in tomorrow’s game. [at odds over the quality and depth of the squad](https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2022/3/13/22975419/bayern-munich-boss-julian-nagelsmann-stanisic-sarr-nianzou-roca-brazzo-tillmann-stanisic-choupo-sane). Currently, despite being inconsistent, Bayern probably has the best team they have had in years - qualitatively and quantitatively — but the performances remained an enigma for the rest of 2022 with excellent games in the Champions League and a lot of ups and downs in the Bundesliga. Right off the bat it was proudly exclaimed that Julian Nagelsmann was to ring in a new era and bring in success for years to come. The big nail in the coffin appeared to be the elimination from the Champions League quarter-final against [Villarreal CF](https://www.villarrealusa.com). Nagelsmann became the youngest coach in the history of the Bundesliga when 1899 Hoffenheim appointed him to be the head coach, and he led the then relegation-facing team from Sinsheim to escape going to the 2. A lot of success stories and “firsts” were achieved by the young coach which led to Bayern Munich’s huge interest in the prodigy. In the following year, Nagelsmann and Hoffenheim secured fourth place in the Bundesliga and even qualified for the

By firing Julian Nagelsmann now, Bayern Munich are essentially saying they got the hiring wrong. Can they get it right with Tuchel?

Bayern aren't just a club: they're a culture, a state of mind, and it weirdly oscillates between "insiders" (ex-players or coaches, steeped in the Bayern way) and "outsiders" (big names brought in to shake things up). [Chelsea](/football/team?id=363), he worked at big clubs like Borussia Dortmund and [Paris Saint-Germain](/football/team?id=160), he lives in the area ... [Josip Stanisic](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/276329/Josip-Stanisic) has been great. If it was a mistake, as Nagelsmann's sacking implies, this one was arguably the most expensive coaching mistake in the history of football, but OK: you get a do-over. But maybe, in a weird way, it makes sense in the context of the club. But Matthijs De Ligt is coming along nicely, and [Mathys Tel](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/325042/Mathys-Tel) has made 21 appearances, which for a 17-year-old, is pretty impressive. [Jamal Musiala](http://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/303821/Jamal-Musiala) looks fine to me. Bayern are the betting favourites to win the German Cup (they're in the quarterfinals) and the [Borussia Dortmund](/football/team?id=124) when they face off in Der Klassiker in the Bundesliga on April Fools Day, thus blowing their chances at their two key objectives this season. (You know the clubs: the kind that proudly remind you that they not only do they win oodles of silverware every year and sell out every game, but they've been profitable for more than a quarter of a century.) "The big fluctuations in performance have cast doubt on our goal for this season, but also our goals for the future," he said, which basically means he no longer thought Nagelsmann would take them where they wanted to be. If you make that sort of commitment, conventional wisdom suggests you go all-in and live with the consequences until they become unsustainable.

Julian Nagelsmann once turned Real Madrid down and has looked at three Premier League clubs for inspiration.The highly-rated manager was sacked by Bay.
