Thomas Tuchel is reportedly considering a surprising return to the Premier League.
Tuchel is expected to part ways with Bayern Munich after the season, following an agreement reached between him and the club.
After guiding Chelsea to Champions League victory in 2021, the German coach has enjoyed a successful tenure at the Allianz Arena. However, recent reports suggest that Tuchel is eyeing a potential move to Manchester United as his next career step.
According to German journalist Christian Falk, Tuchel sees Manchester United as his preferred destination.
Manchester United currently find themselves at a pivotal juncture, especially following INEOS’ recent 25% partial takeover of the club.
Erik ten Hag has been entrusted with the task of reviving the club’s fortunes, with United currently occupying the sixth position in the Premier League standings.
It remains to be seen whether Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Sir Dave Brailsford, the key figures behind INEOS, will opt to retain ten Hag, particularly given the team’s dip in form this season.
Speculation surrounding Tuchel’s future has intensified in light of his previous remarks about managing in Spain.
Barcelona, in particular, is ramping up its search for a new manager following Xavi’s announcement of his departure from the Nou Camp at the end of the season.
While Tuchel has refrained from making definitive statements on the matter, he has indicated openness to a move to Spain, with odds of 7/1 for such a scenario, according to SkyBet.
“Venturing abroad again would interest me,” he acknowledged. “Spain boasts an exceptional league. “In my experience working with Spaniards, they exude immense self-assurance. “When interacting with Spanish players, you immediately sense their strong personality.”
