<p>Is this the nadir — or is the free-fall only beginning?</p> <p id="TNXV5b">Sometimes it just doesn't work out. The individual pieces at a football club might be great — elite players, a stellar tactician — but the harmony in the constellation is gone, the stars no longer aligned. A change of direction starts to feel inevitable.</p>
<p id="jxexuo">Except surely <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> can't fire Thomas Tuchel now. They've only just hired him.</p>
<p id="5jTp2T">Brought in only a month ago to jolt Germany’s record champions <em>out </em>of a slump, Tuchel and the club now find themselves staring into the abyss. All manner of things unthinkable, from cleaning house in the squad and the board room, now seem on the table.</p>
<p id="uFNTBw">Can Bayern pull themselves out of this mess?</p>
<h2 id="JKFm4S"><strong>“Everyone can feel it. It was a mistake. And a big one.”</strong></h2>
<p id="XnP0f5">As Bayern slumped to a 3-1 defeat to Mainz on April 22, ESPN color commentator Steffen Freund delivered his verdict on the sensational coaching change in Bavaria. “I think you can say it now,” he summarized.</p>
<p id="61ttuL">Just weeks ago, Bayern had been the embodiment of togetherness in a second leg demolition of Paris Saint-Germain in the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a> Round of 16. The victors <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/18/23679514/bayern-munich-opinion-nagelsmann-sane-mane-chelsea-manchester-city-psg-real-gnabry-musiala-tuchel">basked</a> in front of their home fans, ebullient and indomitable.</p>
<p id="NXPVGE">CBS studio analyst Jamie Carragher blasted PSG’s display. </p>
<p id="HTIAtp">“I’m delighted PSG have gone out,” Carragher declared in the aftermath. “They spend more money than anyone, they’ve got the best players in the world. And you know what? It’s brilliant because it just tells you how important it is to be a team.”</p>

<p id="XhfcOh">That was March 8. On March 24, Bayern <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/23/23654073/breaking-bayern-munich-sack-julian-nagelsmann-immediate-effect-thomas-tuchel-ucl-replacement">sacked</a> manager Julian Nagelsmann in the wake of a defeat to Xabi Alonso’s resurgent Leverkusen. Tuchel was tapped to salvage the situation — but first, it had to be explained why the situation needed salvaging. </p>
<p id="yIo1xL">It was suggest that Bayern’s Champions League exploits had given them an image of strength that was only illusory. The season's treble ambitions were in <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/24/23654809/bayern-munich-bosses-pin-shortcomings-julian-nagelsmann-guardiola-tuchel-man-city-chelsea-dortmund">jeopardy</a>; so, too, the long-term outlook. An <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/25/23655929/bayern-munich-executives-oliver-kahn-and-hasan-salihamidzic-explain-julian-nagelsmann-termination">analysis</a> of the team’s sporting development had uncovered serious signs of trouble. The squad were in need of a <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/26/23699023/report-bayern-munich-players-at-odds-with-bosses-nagelsmann-tuchel-muller-kimmich-kahn-hainer-brazzo">jolt</a>.</p>
<p id="TU04Fy">Bayern players accepted the charges solemnly. Though they bristled at <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/23/23654165/bayern-munich-bild-explains-why-julian-nagelsmann-sacked-thomas-tuchel-borussia-dortmund-man-city">suggestions</a> that Nagelsmann had lost the dressing room — <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/30/23662625/bayern-munich-leon-goretzka-julian-nagelsmann-bundesliga-kimmich-dortmund-champions-league-man-city">several</a> <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/17/23663747/bayern-munich-josip-stanisic-julian-nagelsmann-sacking-pity-replace-thomas-tuchel-ucl-bundesliga">coming</a> out in <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/24/23655288/bayern-munich-julian-nagelsmann-sacking-joshua-kimmich-reaction-germany-camp-thomas-tuchel-flick-dfb">support</a> of their axed coach — everyone accepted responsibility for their failings. </p>
<p id="sJ0tbu">“A coaching change is always disappointing because it means we players screwed up, didn’t perform consistently, and didn’t bring results,” <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/26/23656723/bayern-munich-julian-nagelsmann-firing-joshua-kimmich-leon-goretzka-musiala-mane-man-city-tuchel">lamented</a> one of the co-captains, Joshua Kimmich. “If we did, the change of coach wouldn’t have happened”.</p>
<p id="uzYIf3">Nobody is under any illusion now.</p>
<p id="OddGga">After a rip-roaring start to the Tuchel era — a charged <em>Der Klassiker </em>kicked off by <a href="https://www.fearthewall.com">Borussia Dortmund</a> keeper Gregor Kobel’s howler and his team’s subsequent collapse — Bayern have trudged to a 1-2-3 record. One win, two draws, three losses. Two tournament exits. </p>
<p id="37xFwF">Bayern’s performances have been those of a shaken and shell-shocked bunch: devoid of self-belief, grasping for ideas, always looking liable to concede. Like a group that had been told they were terrible and were starting to believe it.</p>
<p id="4AyXQS">“They don’t look like a team, actually,” <a href="https://twitter.com/BeerAndHoney/status/1650892432542953475">remarked</a> 11Freunde’s Christoph Biermann after the Mainz debacle. “They look like a lot of single pieces that are loosely arranged together, but not connected.”</p>
<p id="Co60Y2">What a difference a few weeks had made.</p>
<h2 id="Qaygxx"><strong>Tuchel’s early showings have earned him little confidence</strong></h2>
<p id="eUS2OQ">If the new era was a change to right old wrongs, fans have so far been kept waiting. </p>
<p id="9BvyWu"><a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/27/23657973/julian-nagelsmann-bayern-munich-sadio-mane-and-leroy-sane-muller-kimmich-goretzka-gnabry-neuer-coman">Struggling vets</a> from Sadio Mané to Serge Gnabry have continued their poor vein of recent form, while <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/25/23697461/bayern-munich-ryan-gravenberch-transfer-rumors-uses-liverpool-manchester-united-ajax-kimmich-tuchel">disgruntled</a> backups are still riding the bench and airing their grievances publicly. Ballyhooed midfield recruit Ryan <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/28/23659748/bayern-munich-ryan-gravenberch-frustrated-julian-nagelsmann-tuchel-brazzo-kimmich-goretzka-sabitzer">Gravenberch</a> looks <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/e/23467321">closer</a> to a summer exit than ever, while teenage winger/striker Mathys Tel — whom Nagelsmann raved over — is a <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/25/23696618/bayern-munich-manchester-city-champions-league-mathys-tel-thomas-tuchel-julian-nagelsmann-brazzo">loan candidate</a>. Formation experiments have continued apace; the back three-iest back three of the season (with wing-backs in place of wingers) selected for the disaster at Mainz. All of a sudden, the squad looks chock full of serious holes.</p>
<p id="URkIkL">Bayern need a striker, there’s little doubt. Likely they will seek an upgrade in the summer over this season’s revelation, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Oh, and maybe a proper defensive mid as well.</p>
<p id="Gkrr5t">Nevertheless, Nagelsmann had made hay out of his assortment of experiments in attack. At the time he was let go, Bayern had 72 goals from 25 matches, on pace for 98 —compared to 92, 99, and 100 in the three seasons prior. They were on pace to concede 37 — compared to 37, 44, and 32. The unusually high number of draws this season belied Bayern’s typically workmanlike output.</p>
<p id="pFnLEN">After four league matches under Tuchel, the pace has already slipped to 93 for and 39 against. Bayern have gone three straight in the league with just one goal scored. In their last six overall — out of Tuchel’s seven matches in charge thus far — a player who isn’t a center-back has scored only once from open play (Sadio Mané against Mainz). </p>
<p id="JOyECf">If these are early trends, they’re nonetheless a troubling reprise of Tuchel’s struggles at Chelsea, where he could never quite get his forwards firing. That may be a problem endemic to West London, though it’s Tuchel’s former Blues acquaintances, from Mason <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/28/23699944/tuchel-bayern-munich-chelsea-mason-mount-arsenal-transfer-liverpool-mancheter-united-juventus-muller">Mount</a> to Matteo <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/27/23698445/report-chelseas-mateo-kovacic-thomas-tuchel-transfer-kimmich-laimer-goretzka-gravenberch-musiala-tel">Kovačić</a>, whose names keep popping up in the transfer rumor mill. Is Tuchel poised to remake Bayern in the image of those teams? If the club do splurge on a €100m striker as <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/23/23693922/bayern-munich-breaking-100m-transfer-rule-striker-osimhen-harry-kane-kolo-muani-manchester-united">speculated</a>, will it solve all their ills or be a repeat of the <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com/2022/2/21/22944442/tuchel-to-protect-lukaku-as-search-for-attacking-solutions-continues-at-chelsea">Romelu Lukaku situation</a>?</p>
<p id="C2u07N">Then there’s the delicate matter of Thomas Müller. Ever the Bavarian talisman, Tuchel dropped <em>der Raumdeuter</em> to the bench for both legs against <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com">Manchester City</a>. In his return against Mainz, Müller looked like a fish out of water in the new manager’s setup — and he’s not the only one.</p>
<p id="TpyDwV">And finally there’s the results, which speak for themselves.</p>
<p id="N1NKhr">It’s surely, to a large extent, not Tuchel’s fault. He was thrown into a burning cauldron from the start, facing a gauntlet of high-stakes matches with little time to prepare or even to get to know his squad. And unlike his Champions League-winning year at Chelsea, he didn’t arrive in a disillusioned dressing room already yearning for new ideas.</p>
<p id="HImxdQ">If Tuchel is the man destined to renew Bayern’s old glories, though, he’ll need to demonstrate some semblance of a blueprint — and fast. </p>
<h2 id="r6ENp7"><strong>Bayern on the precipice</strong></h2>
<p id="5PJsh7">There’s a certain culture at FC Bayern that <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/24/23694862/bayern-munich-nagelsmann-kahn-brazzo-termination-tuchel-lewandowski-transfer-mane-sane-kimmich-coman">may have led</a>, in part, to Nagelsmann’s sacking. It’s a brutal commitment to excellence that brooks no slips, shows of weakness, or <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/15/23673583/uli-hoeness-julian-nagelsmann-should-not-have-gone-skiing-bayern-munich-thomas-tuchel-bundesliga-ucl">ill-timed vacations</a>. It’s a culture that demands constant self-evaluation.</p>
<p id="5wx6OL">But — especially if they drop the league — Bayern will have a lot of time to get lost in the labyrinth of their own thoughts. Even a win, at this point, will be down to yet another Dortmund collapse and be less than convincing.</p>
<p id="2j65IN">Questions are abounding in too many corners all at once. A <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/3/22/23649628/bayern-munich-2023-transfers-ryan-gravenberch-sadio-mane-matthjis-de-ligt-mathys-tel-joao-cancelo">once-quiet forecast</a> for the summer <a href="http://www.sbnation.com/transfer-rumors">transfer window</a> has given way to an expected opening of the purse strings. A significant overhaul of the roster and <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/28/23700910/winging-it-at-least-one-bayern-munich-winger-will-be-sold-june-kingsley-coman-sadio-mane-gnabry-sane">major outgoings</a> are reportedly on the table. Even recently fired goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalović <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/26/23698726/bayern-munich-report-shock-return-julian-nagelsmann-toni-tapalovic-manuel-neuer-thomas-tuchel">could return</a>.</p>
<p id="RxxDqB">Yes, welcome to FC Hollywood. Between the <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/28/23701474/bayern-munich-uli-hoeness-shadow-president-club-decisions-julian-nagelsmann-thomas-tuchel-transfers">backroom politics</a> and <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/28/23697244/the-fcb-files-bayern-munich-history-with-moles-part-3-pep-guardiola-champions-league-atletico-madrid">media leaks</a>, there's never a dull moment. </p>
<p id="BPGKtq">Amid the fallout from the Champions League and Pokal exits, a full <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/24/23695300/bayern-munich-transfer-hainer-kahn-salihamidzic-tuchel-nagelsmann-kimmich-muller-mane-sane-goretzka">clean out</a> of the executive suite is reportedly not out of the question, either. CEO Oliver Kahn in particular has endured an <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/20/23690829/bayern-munich-report-ceo-oliver-kahn-sacked-champions-league-manchester-city-nagelsmann-tuchel">avalanche of speculation</a>, with names of potential successors (<a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/27/23699585/bayern-munich-oliver-kahn-karl-heinz-rummenigge-club-ceo-hasan-salihamidzic-brazzo-tuchel-decision">including</a> predecessor Karl-Heinz Rummenigge) floated in the media.</p>
<p id="uxAXCy">Such a change would be an admission of staggering error, and one that would pose an early question to Tuchel’s job security for next year. But if it happens, the club may discover, as with the coaching change, that the grass isn’t uniformly greener. New people will bring their own preferences and brands of judgments — or misjudgments, as it were. </p>
<p id="OwFBhU">Destruction tends to beget a cycle. Look no further than <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com">Chelsea FC</a> or <a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com">Tottenham</a>.</p>
<h2 id="0hk1gH"><strong>The awkward elephant in the room</strong></h2>
<p id="o466Jk">Yet how do Bayern close out the season if, as Steffen Freund described, everyone now knows the coaching change was a mistake?</p>
<p id="OISa4u">The best way forward may be the toughest row to hoe. Bayern would need to thread the needle: acknowledging, for their part, a giant miscalculation, never to be repeated — but holding firm against the urge to throw the baby out with the bathwater.</p>
<p id="Ccg0bR">For all their stumbles, <em>der Rekordmeister</em> have a lot to hang their hat on. An assembly of talented footballers, an enviably healthy financial situation shepherded by (otherwise) capable executives, and, yes, a tactically elite coach.</p>
<p id="hutazC">Sure, they've brought crisis on themselves. But the road back to the mountaintop likely runs through well-trodden ground. Through steadfastly working to put the constellation back in order, and keep cool heads over short fuses. Through building forward rather than meting out judgment for which there may be no clear end.</p>
<p id="fKhGfw">They can start with a show of might on Sunday against Hertha BSC.</p>

<p>We take a look at the factors at play in this critical decision.</p> <p id="YwSCAv">The marquee event of this season is clearly the removal of Julian Nagelsmann as the coach of <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a>. While the move has not produced the desired results, there is still a great deal of confusion as to why Bayern’s leadership made this decision at that juncture of the season. Here we will try to explore the factors that led the executives to pull the trigger on Nagelsmann’s tenure, for good or ill.</p>
<p id="4Rjjko">The public reason given was that the move was to protect the team’s chances at winning all three trophies this season. But that is too obvious, too facile. Every choice made at a sports club should be made to deliver better results on the pitch. There is no reason to doubt that the decision was made in the hope of better results but that tells us nothing. What we want to know is why the club decided that Nagelsmann didn’t give them the best chance of delivering optimal results.</p>
<p id="Ni2LhI">So after scouring the internet and devouring too many articles to remember, we are breaking down the reasons for the coach’s dismissal into three categories: Political/Cultural, Performance and Market Forces.</p>
<h1 id="4Spt5i"><strong>Political/Cultural</strong></h1>
<p id="xZuaOt">Every organization, Bayern Munich included, has its own culture and personality. Bayern’s is steeped in German and Bavarian tradition, and to be frank is quite conservative in nature, especially on the financial side. There is some good evidence that Nagelsmann was not a good fit for the team’s culture.</p>
<p id="4JoGsK">The most glaring example of this “culture clash” was the comments made about the coach going on holiday after the loss in his final game before the international break. At first this seemed like a rumour, but then supervisory board member Uli Hoeness gave full throat to this factor when he commented that things might have been different had Julian been around Munich working during the break.</p>
<p id="JmjNsw">The appearance of working hard, especially during crisis carries a lot of value in certain cultures, and that appears to be the case at Bayern. The phenomena is often seen in offices were people compete to see who can be in the earliest and stay the latest, in order to create the image of a driven loyal servant no matter how effective that approach may be. Julian’s hitting the road for a vacation at that troubling time may have been perceived as a failure of leadership and lack of seriousness by the older, very conservative members of the executive.</p>
<p id="ILAZCk">Combined with Julian’s bad judgement in dating a reporter who was covering the squad (who had done a formal interview with him for publication just a month before they were spotted together on a yacht), riding about town on a motorcycle or skateboard, and his general demeanour and dress seemed a poor cultural fit with the conservative front office.</p>
<p id="h0Jd0q">Juilan’s <em>Enfant Terrible </em>persona may have caused some serious friction with the board.</p>

<h1 id="QaSJaJ"><strong>Performance</strong></h1>
<p id="IMyrxK">It has been reported that three particular areas of the team’s performance under Nagelsmann caused the brain trust serious concern. </p>
<h2 id="rAJX5Z"><strong>A) Dropping 10 points in the league standings</strong></h2>
<p id="aO9sV0">Despite a pristine record in the Champion’s League Bayern’s domestic form was heading downhill.</p>
<p id="Uh8Url">When play resumed after the winter break, Bayern held a ten point lead over Dortmund, their traditional rival for the league title. Two months later, when Nagelsmann was sacked, the club had dropped ten points to their rival and were one point behind them on the table. </p>
<p id="XONQ9P">Now Dortmund had gone on a blistering run over that period but sports is relative. Whether they are playing poorly or well, success is measured by doing better than your opponents. Dropping virtually a point a game to the second place side over a long stretch was cause for significant concern in the front office. </p>
<p id="sJ13D7">This factor also dovetails nicely with the long history of Bayern executives saying that winning the Bundesliga is always a core or foundational goal for the club. It appears they meant what they have historically said on that topic.</p>
<h2 id="7jx5vO"><strong>B) Nagelsmann’s tactics and choices were not working</strong></h2>
<p id="J8lpEh">Bayern’s leadership decided that Nagelsmann’s systems and personnel choices were not working, and they had some significant information to base that on. </p>
<p id="G7UYgM">The Athletic, was kind enough to publish a chart showing the xG for and xG against for Bayern on a ten day rolling average over the last part of Kovac’s time at Bayern, all of Flick’s time at Bayern and all of Nagelsmann’s tenure with the team. Out of respect for their IP we will not be reproducing it here. </p>
<p id="XPlzoJ">In a chart like that, a successful system or team has the largest gap between the lower line and the upper line possible, demonstrating good defence and offence. When you have a large number of games to look at, it tells you a lot about how well a team is functioning.</p>
<p id="VntUoN">Unfortunately the numbers for Bayern were bad and getting worse. The lines were moving closer together steadily over time, which should come as no surprise as the team dropped 10 points to Dortmund as time went on. </p>
<p id="r8jP5n">In fact the gap, over a long stretch of games had become smaller than the gap that Kovac’s Bayern was exhibiting at the end of his tenure. </p>
<p id="OdggtP">So the board was faced was significant data that the team’s league performance was getting worse rather than better as the season went on. Bayern was on pace to have its lowest point total in the league since 2010-2011 when the club ejected the manager. </p>
<h2 id="Cs4bGr"><strong>C) Bayern was terrible in close games</strong></h2>
<p id="x2B58N">The executive offices were concerned about Bayern’s records in close matches in the league this year. The numbers in this regard are quite humbling.</p>
<p id="zQLxTb">A close game is one that is decided by 0-1 goals. At the time of Nagelsmann’s sacking, Bayern had the third worst record for close games in the league. That’s right, in that area Bayern was performing like a team fighting against relegation. </p>
<p id="HC2iOw">At first, this stat seemed a little fishy and maybe even misleading. Perhaps it was just an artifact of Bayern’s quality compared to the rest of the league. Common sense tells us that if Bayern is going to drop points to a Bundesliga opponent it will likely be a draw or a one goal loss, and they are likely to win by multiple goals frequently. So that statistic could be a bit of an illusion. That was a concern until we saw the statistic expressed a different, and perhaps more meaningful, way.</p>
<p id="tjA21N">In close games over the last five years before this season, Bayern averaged just a hair under two points a game. This year, Bayern was averaging just a fraction over 1 point a game in close games in the league. Nagelmann’s Bayern was producing almost a point less a game in close matches than recent history. A serious drop. </p>
<p id="oNFCFT">By my count there were twelve close games in games Nagelsmann coached in the league this year, and if you use say .9 points/game difference, that meant our season was running almost 11 points behind where it should have been based on recent historical statistics.</p>
<p id="oIrVrK">Does anyone think Nagelsmann would have been sacked if he was 10 points ahead of Dortmund or even just 4 points in first at the international break?</p>
<p id="CuuZe6">That’s the quantitative side of losing those close games, but what about the qualitative analysis? What do those close losses mean in real terms?</p>
<p id="FsWNIm">Leaving aside the factor of luck, or contingency, close games are usually decided by either small tactical advantages, or extra effort by the players of one squad to get the result in a key moment. These numbers tell us Bayern was not benefitting from either of those two factors. It seems likely that the Bayern front office concluded that Nagelsmann was not consistently producing superior efforts from his side, or giving them enough tactical advantage to make the difference in close games. </p>

<h1 id="L29y7O"><strong>Market Factors</strong></h1>
<p id="u5T84v">It is no secret that Bayern had wanted Tuchel as a coach for quite some time. The club is reported to have approached him to take over in 2018, but the move was stalled by Uli expressing concerns. By the time Bayern had gotten a consensus together to go after Tuchel, he had already committed to PSG and the club (to its long term benefit) went in another direction.</p>
<p id="UutmVt">Bayern was in contact with Tuchel’s people when they began questioning whether Julian was the right person to continue to lead the team. They communicated that Thomas was considering other offers, apparently from <a href="https://www.managingmadrid.com">Real Madrid</a> and <a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com">Tottenham</a> amongst others and would not likely be on the sidelines for long. That left the front office in a quandary. They needed to make a decision quickly on whether or not to fire Nagelsmann and replace him with Tuchel. They made that decision and here we are.</p>
<h1 id="ELoNDC"><strong>Conclusions</strong></h1>
<p id="EPsuR0">Like most decisions of this nature, there are often multiple factors involved in ending the tenure of a coach. There were other sources referencing the failure to develop young players, the blow-up with Neuer, and some other factors (even his fake eye-brows) but based on a wide analysis of the quality and consistency of reporting we decided to limit our approach to the factors above.</p>
<p id="1a1XI3">If Nagelsmann’s sacking was not a perfect storm of issues cultural, sporting performance, and FOMO, it was pretty darn close. Which factors weighed heaviest is anyone’s guess.</p>
<p id="RIrPir">And as a teaser, there is now some reporting going around that it was not Kahn and Brazzo who wanted Nagelsmann’s tenure ended, but that the decision was made even higher up the food chain and sent down to them. Stick around while we try to run that interesting tidbit to ground.</p>

<p>Apparently, talks broke down due to differences between the sides. </p> <p id="meW86U">People forget but <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> isn’t the only club experiencing a circus at the top level right now. Per Fabrizio Romano, talks have completely broken down between Julian Nagelsmann and <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com">Chelsea FC</a>, with the two parties having differing views on some crucial points. After several rounds of talks, Nagelsmann himself apparently withdrew from the race. </p>
<p id="GStxy3">Speaking to Sky Germany (via <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1649463920988487702">Fabrizio Romano</a>), the former Bayern Munich coach apparently commented on the situation, saying, “To cancel something, you have to commit to something.” Cryptic, but it does get the point across. Fans will recall that, at Bayern, Nagelsmann was assured that he’d have complete control over transfers and the direction of the team as a whole, which included a long five-year contract. Perhaps the Blues were unwilling to concede those demands. </p>

</figure>
<p id="rfpy2D">This will come as a blow to Chelsea’s search for a new manager. Having already hired former coach Frank Lampard as an interim, they were looking to have Nagelsmann take over next summer. Now, Todd Boehly and the new Chelsea management will shift to fresh targets, such as former <a href="https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com">Tottenham</a> and PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino. This is also an unfortunate turn of events for Bayern, as they were probably hoping that the spendthrift Blues owners would pay a decent transfer fee to sign Nagelsmann. </p>
<p id="HBQb1J">What does this mean for the former Bayern Munich coach? Nothing much. Even if the Chelsea job is off the table, he can expect plenty more attractive offers to come his way. Come next summer, expect Nagelsmann to be coaching one of the top clubs in Europe. </p>

<p>It’s safe to say that Stanisic wasn’t too pleased with Bayern’s dismissal of Nagelsmann. </p> <p id="6qWcxe">Just as Josip Stanisic was gaining a bit of a run in <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a>’s starting lineup under Julian Nagelsmann, the latter was sacked rather unexpectedly and replaced by Thomas Tuchel. Granted, Stanisic benefitted from injuries to some of Bayern’s other defender, and specifically in the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a> round of 16 second leg against Paris Saint-Germain, a Benjamin Pavard suspension. Even still, there were a handful of occasions that Nagelsmann preferred Stanisic to <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com">Manchester City</a> loanee Joao Cancelo, the 2-0 win over PSG being one of them that was initially met with speculation amongst the fan base.</p>
<p id="MKRgjJ">Now, Stanisic might not be getting the same treatment from Tuchel as he had been in the weeks before the international break from Nagelsmann. Just before joining up with the Croatian squad, the defender had spoken about how his confidence had spiked after his run of increased minutes under Nagelsmann due to his preference for a back three system.</p>
<p id="SMQNFX">Fast forward to now, and Stanisic said that Nagelsmann’s all-of-the-sudden dismissal from the club was a “pity,” as he described it speaking to SPOX (via <a href="https://twitter.com/imiasanmia/status/1641104613645471746?s=46&t=gLe-_YzJmVJHfEjMd8Qkbg">@iMiaSanMia</a>). “I think it’s a pity because Nagelsmann was a coach who gave me the chance to show myself at the very highest level. I’m sorry because we as a team are also responsible for that,” he explained, bearing some of the weight on the squad as a whole for some of their recent slip-ups in the Bundesliga. Not <em>everything </em>was Nagelsmann’s fault, but when push comes to shove in terms of running the business that is FC Bayern, it sort of always <em>is </em>the manager's fault.</p>
<p id="Yq1B2V">Much like a handful of other players in Bayern’s squad, Stanisic revealed that he has been in touch with Nagelsmann after the news of his sacking broke and said that he had a good relationship with the former RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim manager. “My relationship with him has always been good. I can’t say anything bad. I texted him, just a few messages. I wish him all the luck in the world in the future,” he explained. </p>

<p>And now Nagelsmann’s Bayern managerial career sleeps with the fishes.</p> <p id="vBaBjF"><a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> legend and board member Uli Hoeneß is still prowling the grounds at Säbener Straße, straight shooting and not mincing his words. He offered some comments to kicker (<a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1642464780706521088?s=20">as captured by @iMiaSanMia</a>) on the sensitive topic of Julian Nagelsmann’s recent surprise sacking, which came after a Bundesliga defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.</p>
<p id="PIVhRE">“Julian Nagelsmann should not have gone on a skiing holiday after the defeat in Leverkusen,” Hoeneß said ominously. “If he had stayed in Munich, they would have met him and spoken to him Monday or Tuesday. And who knows what would have happened then.”</p>
<p id="SamCt6">Hoeneß is sounding like a man straight out of a mafia movie — and it’s a pity what can happen to a manager’s career if they go skiing. As Bayern fans know all too well, <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2022/12/11/23503899/details-on-bayern-munich-germany-goalkeeper-manuel-neuer-horrific-skiing-injury-nubel-monaco-ligue-1">accidents can happen...</a></p>
<p id="U8pCcG">But it’s also an intriguing insight on two fronts. First, Bayern sure are serious about all this off-field stuff. Serge Gnabry’s Paris <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/1/23/23568061/bayern-munich-serge-gnabry-fashion-week-paris-nagelsmann-koln-transfer-sane-coman-muller-musiala-tel">Fashion Week trip fallout </a>was evidently more than cosmetic, it must have really ruffled feathers. And in Nagelsmann’s case, perhaps it was the last nail in the coffin.</p>
<p id="p8laYZ">There’s also the curious hint that things might have gone differently had Nagelsmann merely been on hand to meet and explain things with the bosses. Presented his own three-step plan to recovery, say. Where would Bayern — and current manager Thomas Tuchel — be today if that had happened? </p>

</figure>
<p>A lot was riding on Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge.</p> <p id="vBaBjF">Phew! That’s what Bayern Munich CEO Oliver Kahn must have been thinking in the team’s <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com/2023/4/1/23666152/bayern-munich-vs-borussia-dortmund-postgame-podcast-analysis-tuchel-thomas-muller-leroy-sane-musiala">gangbusters 4-2 win</a> over Borussia Dortmund. After axing a popular and reasonably successful head coach in Julian Nagelsmann — a man the brass had been up to that week insisting was the heart of the club’s long-term plans — it would have been a disaster to fall apart at the seams.</p>
<p id="GeB3uT">Fortunately, falling apart at the seams is a BVB specialty in Munich.</p>
<p id="7aq48e">“It was a huge relief for everyone,” Kahn expressed on Bild TV (<a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1642532082743226370">via @iMiaSanMia</a>). “We were 9 points clear of Dortmund not long ago. The game could’ve been under different circumstances. Suddenly, BVB are one point ahead of us and there was big pressure on us. The team did incredibly well.”</p>
<p id="aP9f7n">That nine-point advantage at the start of the <em>Rückrunde</em> sure evaporated fast, and it’s a testament to just how wobbly Bayern’s Bundesliga performances were at the end of the Nagelsmann era. </p>
<p id="sxxu4K">But poor Dortmund. Even in their richest vein of form, they couldn’t come to the Allianz without a shocking early error and impromptu collapse of mentality. Bayern have work to do, but it’s starting to look more and more like first place will be confirmed.</p>

<p>Eat, sleep, and Bayern Munich has been Tuchel’s routine since he’s taken over for Julian Nagelsmann. </p> <p id="YvvGRK">It’s now been just over a week since <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> made the shock decision to axe Julian Nagelsmann and replace him with former Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, <a href="https://www.fearthewall.com">Borussia Dortmund</a> and Mainz manager Thomas Tuchel. The “Tuchel shadow” had been looming large in the background for managers of top clubs across Europe ever since Chelsea let him go back in the fall after a <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a> loss to Dinamo Zagreb. </p>
<p id="bCE5Sm">Tuchel has since admitted that he was shocked to have been let go by Chelsea, but it’s clear that Nagelsmann, despite having been well-poised to guide Bayern to a potential treble, was not impervious to the aforementioned Tuchel shadow. Bayern’s board and front office ultimately felt that there wasn’t enough growth under Nagelsmann and that he was to blame for slipping behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga table, which is the first opponent Tuchel will face as Bayern manager in what will sort of be a baptism by fire.</p>
<p id="YC2SKy">In his first pre-match press conference as Bayern manager, Tuchel looked forward to <em>der Klassiker</em>, as it will be an absolutely momentous installment of Germany’s biggest fixture with how much weight it bears in terms of the title race. He’s also had a home in Munich as well as some of his family members, but he said that he’s been all work and business since he’s taken over for Nagelsmann, even with most of the squad not present at Sabener Strasse due to the international break for friendlies and various qualifiers.</p>
<p id="f3cCS9">“Work, sleep, eat, repeat. That was my first week. Of course, there were a lot of impressions. It felt like a month’s work. I was always tired in the evening and ready again the next day,” Tuchel explained of his first full week as Bayern boss. “It was exhausting, but at the same time it was the best thing there is. I’m very grateful to be part of this club,” he added. </p>
<p id="uTfG9r">He’s already had some one on one, face to face conversations with a handful of players, and the meeting with Leroy Sane seems to be getting most of the attention. He feels the former <a href="https://bitterandblue.sbnation.com">Manchester City</a> attack is better suited to a wide role and plans on making sure he implements that moving forward, as Nagelsmann had been using him in more central roles as of late before he was dismissed.</p>

<p id="6VDKom">Having a matchup against Dortmund as your first fixture as Bayern manager is quite the tall task, but Tuchel’s already demonstrated with his work ethic since he’s arrived at Sabener Strasse that he can start with a bang. Even without having most of the squad for his first days as Bayern boss, he has clear ideas of what he expects from each player and the collective. </p>

<p>Thankfully, he’s joined a team that would NEVER do something like that. </p> <p id="JsSZHk">Speaking to the media in his first pregame press conference as <a href="https://www.bavarianfootballworks.com">Bayern Munich</a> coach, Thomas Tuchel opened up about the circumstances surrounding his dismissal from <a href="https://weaintgotnohistory.sbnation.com">Chelsea FC</a>. Despite winning the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/champions-league">Champions League</a> in his first season, the 49-year-old was unceremoniously sacked less than 100 days into the tenure of new owner Todd Boehly. </p>
<p id="OweZme">Tuchel revealed that the decision came as complete shock at the time. Much like Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern, Tuchel had not realized that he was on the verge of being sacked until it actually happened. Here’s what he had to say:</p>
<div id="YXTKcy">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tuchel on his Chelsea sacking: "It was a shock. The meeting only lasted 3-5 minutes at 8 in the morning. We all thought we were on the right track and had more time to build something. Now I have found a new challenge and I'm happy to be here" <a href="https://t.co/k4TwpYD7Ur">pic.twitter.com/k4TwpYD7Ur</a></p>— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) <a href="https://twitter.com/iMiaSanMia/status/1641777457849147399?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2023</a>
</blockquote>
<script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
</div>
<p id="2RnKtx">“We had a good relationship with people there (Chelsea),” he added. “I still have a lot of friends at Chelsea and that’s not going to change.”</p>
<p id="5a2R75">He remained such good friends with his Chelsea staff that he’s currently trying to bring Anthony Barry, the Blues’ set piece coach, with him to Bayern Munich. The two clubs are currently negotiating over compensation. </p>
<p id="LDSQQz">It’s interesting how, after being sacked so unceremoniously at his former club, Tuchel would leap right into the Bayern job despite knowing the risks. His predecessor, Julian Nagelsmann, currently holds the record for highest points-per-game of any coach ever sacked in the top 5 leagues. Maybe it just goes to show how coveted the Bayern job is. No one can resist the call when it comes. </p>
