The appointment of Thomas Tuchel as England coach from January 1, 2025 would mean the German coach rejoining the Harry Kane just a few months after meeting Bayern Munich. “Waiting to play with the boss again!” In this message on his Twitter account, the scorer welcomed the person who will once again be his coach at the helm of the ‘pros’.
But how did the two end up together at Bayern? Tuchel took the reins of Bayern in March 2023 replaced Julian Nagelsmann, the current coach of Germany. Despite the problems experienced by the Bavarian team, Tuchel saved the season by winning the Bundesliga for the 11th time in a row in a dramatic last day thanks to a goal in extremis by Jamal Musiala in Cologne (1-2). Borussia Dortmund lost the title on goal difference after losing at home to Mainz (2-2) when they had everything in their favour.
Bayern’s record signing
To give the team a boost, Bayern added Harry Kane in August 2024 after paying 95 million euros to Tottenham where this is the record signing in its history.
The effect of his arrival was immediate. The English striker has fully adapted to German football and from the first day he is tired of scoring goals in the Bundesliga. He achieved four hat tricks and He has a total of 36 goals, which remains 5 away from Robert Lewandowski’s all-time record in the 2020-21 season with Bayern itself. In the Champions League he achieved 8.
But Kane has become the victim of a curse that haunts him from the beginning of his career and closed another season without celebrating a title. In the Bundesliga Bayern are at the mercy of Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen, who made history by winning the title without losing in 34 rounds, and even finished third, 18 points behind the champion!, behind Stuttgart
One step away from the Champions League
In the DFB Pokal, Bayern did themselves a disservice in the 1/16 final against Saarbrücken, third division, 2-1. And in the Champions League he is just one step away from the final when collapsed at the Bernabéu after another incredible comeback in a tough match against Real Madrid (2-1).
Then, as announced in February 2024, Tuchel agreed with Bayern that he would leave at the end of the season. The coach asked more questions as Leverkusen moved away from the lead in the league and Bayern fell in the first leg of the round of 16 against Lazio (1-0), so both sides then agreed to separate their path in an attempt to calm the environment.
Kane’s goals, despite this agreement, prevented the departure of Tuchel, who has also been criticized for his relationship with the players, from being earlier. But at the same time, before the end of a crazy season, Bayern suggested to the coach his continuation in a strange turn of events. They did not agree…
