According to BILD reporter Christian Falk, Thomas Tuchel, the manager of Bayern Munich, may be drawn to Manchester United’s possible head coach position at Old Trafford.

As the 2023–24 season draws to a close, Erik ten Hag’s future is being scrutinised more closely. This is because last weekend, his team barely defeated Championship team Coventry City in the FA Cup semifinal.

Following INEOS’s recent minority buyout, which was spearheaded by chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the Red Devils may be entering a new chapter in their history prior to the summer transfer window of 2024. When Tuchel departs his current position at Bayern at the conclusion of the season, he will be available for employment in the summer.

The head coach is searching for a fresh opportunity.
The current Manchester United season has generated a lot of discussion on Erik ten Hag’s future as head coach, since the team has not been able to capitalise on their third-place Premier League result and Carabao Cup victory from the previous season. In the last few weeks of the season, the Dutchman has to win over INEOS chairman Sir Jim Ratcliffe in order to maintain his position at Old Trafford.

Tuchel, meanwhile, loses his job at the end of the current campaign. Bayern had previously decided to split ways amicably with their head coach at the end of the 2024–2025 season, thus the German coach will be looking for other chances. Tuchel may be keen to be back into managing after being fired by Chelsea in September 2022.

The premier league’s top managers have already praised the current Bayern manager, with Manchester City’s head coach calling him “one of the best managers” in the world. According to BILD journalist Christian Falk, Tuchel is attracting interest from Manchester United, and the soon-to-be jobless manager is amenable to taking ten Hag’s place at Old Trafford. The journalist stated:

“Today, Thomas Tuchel has drawn interest from @ManUtd as well. In the summer, Tuchel would be up for a fresh challenge and has a strong interest in Manchester United.”

Tuchel ‘will desire’ to take Ten Hag’s post at Manchester United
It’s possible that the Red Devils are searching for a new head coach.
Journalist Dean Jones stated to GIVEMESPORT in March that he believed Tuchel would go for the Manchester United head coach position should it open up. Early in his Chelsea career, the 50-year-old won the Champions League in 2021 before guiding the Blues to a third-place Premier League result. But Tuchel was fired at Stamford Bridge in 2022, and in the latter part of the 2022–2023 season, he took Julian Nagelsmann’s place at Bayern.

After leading the Bavarian giants to their first Bundesliga title at the end of their first season under Tuchel’s leadership, Bayern lost the league crown to Bayer Leverkusen. Tuchel will thus want to establish himself as one of the best managers on the continent once more.
