Tuchel Aims to Make Immediate Impact Before Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City Matches
Tuchel has taken charge of a team that had so far lost top spot in the Bundesliga following a loss to Bayer Leverkusen, leading to Nagelsmann’s dismissal. With crucial matches ahead, including against Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City, Tuchel aims to make an immediate impact.
Reports Suggest Attacking Players Have Disappointed
Reports suggest that some attacking players have disappointed, including Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman. Leroy Sane, a summer signing from Manchester City, has yet to make a huge impression and was criticized by German media. However, Tuchel’s move to give him a kick up the backside could inspire him to step up.
Bayern Munich Aims to Win Champions League under Tuchel
Bayern Munich wants to win the Champions League this season, which they last won in 2020 under Hansi Flick. Tuchel has already made moves to put Bayern in a strong position by offering a job to highly-rated coach Anthony Barry. However, Chelsea is unhappy with the approach and demands compensation while Barry wants to reunite with Tuchel.
Tuchel’s First Match Against Former Club Borussia Dortmund
Tuchel’s first match as Bayern coach is against his former club, Borussia Dortmund. Tuchel was fired from Dortmund due to disagreements with club officials and players. The match is crucial as it could decide the title winner.
Challenges Ahead for Tuchel’s Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich is facing pressure from Union Berlin and needs to improve their domestic performance. The team has a crucial run of fixtures ahead, including a tough task against Manchester City in the Champions League quarter-finals.
Tuchel expressed his excitement about working with the talented Bayern squad and the challenge of starting with a match against Dortmund. Tuchel’s team talks will be important as some players were close to the previous coach, Julian Nagelsmann.
Dortmund is in good form, having won all but one of their last 10 league games. Bayern has won every title since 2012, while Dortmund has struggled in Munich before, losing on their last 8 visits.
Tuchel was previously sacked by Chelsea but is looking forward to the big commitment of coaching a top team like Bayern Munich. With his determination and experience, Tuchel is set to shake things up and lead Bayern Munich to success this season.
