Tuchel Will Make Bayern ‘Stable’ Again After Nagelsmann Caused ‘Too Much Trouble’ – Lothar Matthaus

Lothar Matthaus claims that Julian Nagelsmann caused “too much problems” at Bayern Munich and that Thomas Tuchel, the team’s new manager, will make them “stable.”

During the March international break, the German powerhouses ruthlessly sacked Nagelsmann and hired Tuchel as his replacement. Tuchel signed a contract that runs through 2025. Nagelsmann was fired despite leading Bayern to a perfect record in the Champions League, advancing to the DFB-Pokal semifinals, and still having a chance to win another Bundesliga championship.

Bayern lost top spot in the division to Borussia Dortmund after a defeat to Bayer Leverkusen before the international break, which prompted the Bayern hierarchy to make a change. It has since been reported that some players were glad to see the back of Nagelsmann, including Sadio Mane and Joao Cancelo, with the dressing room divided towards the end of his tenure. Matthaus is glad that Tuchel has been brought in to steady the ship and has suggested that everything was far too up and down under Nagelsmann.

“I assume that the team under Tuchel will be more stable again and that there will not be so many fluctuations in performance. Many games under Julian Nagelsmann were not Bayern-like, the fluctuations were too great. There was too much trouble,” The Germany and Bayern legend said in an interview with Kicker.

In a crucial Der Klassiker match, Tuchel will face his old team Borussia Dortmund to begin his tenure at Bayern. Despite Dortmund’s outstanding performance in 2023, Matthaus believes Bayern is more equipped to handle the pressure of the situation and will prevail. “Bayern will triumph because the opposition will probably not enjoy seeing them anxious. They have an advantage due to their prior success in similar contests, home field advantage, and winning attitude,” he stated.

Bayern Munich will look to reclaim top spot in the Bundesliga when they host Borussia Dortmund on Saturday. Tuchel’s men will take on Freiburg in a DFB-Pokal quarter-final tie three days later.
