Thomas Tuchel speaks out after Julian Nagelsmann’s contract extension with the DFB. The FC Bayern coach is not surprised by the national coach’s decision, who also had an offer from Munich. Tuchel is also asked about his own future.
A good hour after the announcement of Julian Nagelsmann’s contract extension with the German Football Association (DFB), FC Bayern called for a press conference. Thomas Tuchel spoke in Munich about the upcoming Bundesliga game against Union Berlin. But the first question concerned his personal future.
Right from the start, a reporter wanted to know whether he would listen to an offer to stay if those responsible approached him. “So much subjunctive. “I have an agreement with the club that has been communicated and stands,” said Tuchel immediately, before the question was even formulated. The club and coach had agreed to end their collaboration in the summer.

However, Tuchel answered the question of how he classifies Nagelsmann’s stay at the DFB in a little more detail. “I expected it a little bit when Rudi Völler extended. From the outside, they look like a very harmonious team,” said the Bayern coach. “They are a good team and complement each other. The decision is good for the national team. It brings clarity and stability. Hopefully everyone involved can take the momentum and spirit from the two test matches into the tournament.”
FC Bayern under pressure when it comes to coaching questions
Due to the extension of the contract with the DFB, FC Bayern is coming under increasing pressure when looking for a coach. Nagelsmann was Munich’s second favorite to succeed Tuchel, who has to leave the club at the end of the season. “I never commented on names, but I never ruled anything out,” said Bayern’s sports director Max Eberl on Wednesday evening after the 1-0 win against Arsenal FC. “We had a lot of discussions. And we want to present our coach at some point if both sides say yes.”

When asked about conversations with Nagelsmann and his advisors, which were made public by Nagelsmann’s side, Eberl replied in general that he did not confirm anything. Since Bayern’s actual preferred candidate, Xabi Alonso, decided to stay in Leverkusen and not move to the record champions, the Munich team must continue to look for a new coach.
