The firing of Julian Nagelsmann remains surprising me because, in contrast, Bayern Munich is in the UCL quarterfinals and is also in first place in their league. The board probably does not share Julian's long justifications for their dismal performance in the bundlesliga. By this stage, they had accumulated insufficient points, which would have either allowed them to win the league title with easy or put them in direct rivalry with other elite teams, which is a disastrous outcome for the Bavarians. The addition of Thomas Tuchel is encouraging for the former Chelsea manager as he prepares to face Manchester City in the UCL.
At first I was also surprised by the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann. When I heard about the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann from Bayern Munich, I couldn't believe it, but after seeing one of the football news reports from a trusted journalist, it turned out to be true. Even Tuchel will soon receive a new contract in the next few hours.
It was a bit strange to be sacked in the midst of Bayern Munich's performance which was a little inconsistent in the Bundesliga but performed very well in the UCL and is currently in the Quarter Finals and will face Manchester City.
So I think that one of the reasons Bayern Munich's management fired Nagelsman was because they wanted Bayern Munich, when under Tuchel's hands, to be able to beat Man City.
which we all know that Tuchel's winning record against Man City Pep was good in the EPL a few seasons ago and even Tuchel was also able to beat City's best squad in the 2021 UCL Final.
It's a shame that Nagelsmann was sacked, even though his tactics were pretty good, it's just that he's more flexible about formations, namely playing 3 defenders more often, and maybe this is also what makes other Bayern Munich players feel uncomfortable about playing minutes.
