Kim Min-jae's Worst News

Chances are increasing that Thomas Tuchel 51 will stay in Bayern Munich. It is a negative development for Kim Min-jae 28.

"Munich insiders who want Tuchel to stay are coming out. In fact, will coach Tuchel stay in Munich?" and shared the opinion of multiple sources.

There is a high possibility that Tuchel will stay in Munich. According to German media, Stefan Kumberger of Sport 1 said, "Munich general manager Max Eberl will not oppose Tuchel's reappointment," adding, "He thanked Tuchel. He could theoretically take the helm of Munich next season."

Although he finished the 2023-2024 season without a win, his team seems to have a pretty good reputation. Even quite a few players are said to support Tuchel. Notably, Eric Dier 31, who took the position as the starting defender after leaving Tottenham Hotspur for Munich, is also positive about Tuchel's staying in the team. The same applies to Harry Kane 31, who is said to be his best friend.

Citing Kerry Howe of Sky Sports in Germany, Barbarian Football Works said, "There is still a possibility that Tuchel will stay. Some players still want Tuchel to stay," adding, "Manuel Neuer 35 and Thomas Müller 35 are actively seeking Tuchel's stay. Players said they learned a lot from Tuchel. His coaching staff are also very popular in the team."

"In addition to Neuer and Müller, Leroy Sane 29, Kane, Dier, and Jamal Mussiala 22 want to continue with Tuchel," he said.

There is also the aftermath of the failure to appoint the next coach. Munich announced Tuchel's resignation through its official channel in February. As scheduled, Tuchel will leave Munich after the 2023-2024 season. Munich has contacted several coaches to replace Tuchel, but has been rejected repeatedly. "Munich is also discussing a second term as Tuchel coach," said Barbarian Football Works. "Munich offered Xavi Alonso Bayre Leverkusen and Julian Nagelsmann German national team to take the helm. However, all coaches rejected their offer. Furthermore, some players want Tuchel to stay." 슬롯

Moreover, Tuchel did not give up the possibility of staying in Munich. Media outlets reported that Tuchel remains open to Munich, too. Munich is not specifically approaching candidates for the next coach, judging by the possibility of Tuchel re-election.

It is a bad news for Kim, who struggled this season. Before the 2023-2024 season, Kim left Napoli in Serie A, Italy, and joined the Munich team. He continued his strides by leading the competition for starting membership until the middle of the season, but struggled starting from the winter transfer market. Tuchel hired Dier, who was recruited from Tottenham, as his core center back.

After taking the helm of Munich at the end of last season, Tuchel came from behind to win the Bundesliga title. Borussia Dortmund, which had been the lone lead, was hampered by Mainz in the last game. This season, the team humiliatingly won the No Trophy for the first time in 12 years.

On the 13th, Munich beat Wolfsburg 2-0 at its home stadium, Allianz Arena. In their final home game, players approached the stands to greet the fans. Tuchel refused.

"It was a moment for the players. I didn't want to get attention there. I know the camera was there," Tuchel told a news conference after the match. "I love going into the locker room. The fans are in the stands for the team. The players deserve to be congratulated," Tuchel said. "It is a privilege to coach a team as good as Munich. I tried to win as many championships as I could. But I failed."
