The search continues, another Bayern option for a coach has failed. Thomas Tuchel does not want to stay in Munich either.It’s incredible what the Bavarians did to themselves when they announced in February that they would dismiss Tuchel at the end of the season. At that time, they were convinced that they would easily find his successor and that the coaches would vie for Bayern’s bench, but everything turned into a fiasco.First, they failed to lure Xabi Alonso, who remains in Leverkusen, then Julian Nagelsmann refused to return and extended his contract with the German FA. They failed to bring in Ralf Rangnick, and the fourth option, Hansi Flick, was not interested in returning to Munich. In the meantime, their ideas about the engagements of Sebastian Hoennes and Robert de Zerbi failed. In the end, Bayern negotiated with Tuchel about staying, but they did not reach an agreement, which was confirmed by the German expert today.”This is my last conference in Säbener Strasse. There were discussions, but we did not reach an agreement. The decision from February remains in force. Of course it’s not easy. The results against Lazio, Arsenal and Bayer united us. Because of those impressions from the last few weeks, we sat down at the negotiating table again, but we did not manage to find a common language. I will not reveal what the reasons were”, Tuchel put an end to speculations that he could still stay.##NAJAVA_MECA_8109801##Is the reason transfer policy and less influence on it, unlike the experience he had at Chelsea?”It’s not my style to write a player’s name on a piece of paper and tell the club: ‘Bring me him or I’m leaving.’ This was not the case in England either. It has always been my goal to get the most out of the team through coaching, aware of other factors such as finances. Of course, there are other ways. I have no reason to complain. I am still proud that we brought in a player like Harry Kane. I wanted him so much that I “infected” Salihamidzic with that story. I have always acted honestly in the transfer policy and that has never been a problem for me here”.Young midfielder Aleksandar Pavlović remains as Tuchel’s great legacy in Munich.”He is sensational! It’s a pleasure to watch that guy play. From the first training, we saw that there is something special in him. Also, he is a great person and comes to every training session smiling. I enjoyed watching his development. Everything about him is wonderful and he absolutely deserved to be invited to the EURO2024. Playing central midfielder in Bayern is not easy at all. I wish him all the luck”.Max Eberl and Christoph Freund made massive efforts to keep Thomas Tuchel at the club, but ultimately lacked support from the very top. Tuchel rejected Bayern’s offer on Wednesday evening. On Thursday the club tried to change his mind with a few concessions, but that didn’t… pic.twitter.com/IAdjpXpyks— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) May 17, 2024 At the same time as Pavlović’s status went up, Leon Goretzka’s career went downhill and he was denied a place in the national team.”He was disappointed that he was not invited. My assistants talked to him, but I don’t know if it helped him… He had a decent season playing different roles. I am convinced that he did his best to be on the list and of course he is disappointed”.How much did Uli Hoennes’ public criticism affect you?”We met during the second match against Real Madrid and put an end to it. There is no point in being bitter. Everything is fine”.
