Tuchel raves about the club he wants to join, which will irritate Chelsea fans

According to caughtoffside, Thomas Tuchel said earlier this week that he will leave Bayern Munich at the conclusion of the season following a terrible run of results.

If losing 3-0 to current Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen wasn’t bad enough, following it up with a 1-0 Champions League loss to Lazio and a 3-2 defeat against Bochum, a club that is 11th in the German top-flight and has only four wins all season, was clearly the last straw for the Bavarians.

Tuchel had also supervised a major shock in the DFB-Pokal, with Bayern losing in the second round to weak third-tier team Saarbrucken, and he had seen his side get pounded 5-1 by Eintracht Frankfurt.

An end to the existing agreement makes sense for all sides, albeit Tuchel has already put himself up for the Barcelona position, according to reputable writer Florian Plettenberg, writing on X (previously Twitter).

That decision is unlikely to please Chelsea fans, who formerly praised the German while he was in their dugout. The Blues have never quite forgiven the Catalans for the manner in which they advanced in the 2009 Champions League semi-final, a contest fraught with controversy for several reasons.
