New Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel revealed he learned he was sacked by Chelsea in a meeting that lasted just minutes.
Coach Thomas Tuchel was sacked by Todd Boehly last September, just over a year after he won the Champions League with the Blues. Graham Potter was the person appointed to replace the German teacher.
Although Chelsea have had a bad start to the season under Tuchel, their record is not so bad. To this day, the former PSG coach still feels hurt after being quickly sacked by Chelsea, he said:
“It was a shock. I drove to the training center at 8am. A meeting is organized and lasts 3 to 5 minutes. The decision has been made and to be honest, it was a shock to all of us.”
“My assistants and I think the current situation is not too bad, and we can help the team play better. We believe we can help the club achieve great things and we want to stay longer. When things don’t go as expected, and happen so quickly, you can’t keep your cool, I was really shocked at that moment.”
After about 6 months of rest, Tuchel was appointed to replace Julian Nagelsmann to lead Bayern Munich. He will help “Gray Lobster” hope to win titles this season. Bayern is currently ranked 2nd in the Bundesliga, but only 1 point behind the top team Dortmund. They also reached the quarter-finals of the German Cup and the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
