Nagelsmann got the job with the Bundesliga giants in April 2021 as he replaced Hansi Flick. Last season, Nagelsmann had led Bayern to their 10th successive Bundesliga title as well. However, in the current season, the club is struggling. They are placed fourth in the table, behind Borussia Dortmund as well as Union Berlin.


Not long ago, they lost to Bayen Leverkusen which was last nail in the coffin for the manager's future in the club. Tuchel is expected to be there in the dug out for the April 1 clash vs Dortmund.

Not to forget, Bayern can still move to the top of the table with a win vs Dortmund so that game on April 1 becomes very important for them. Tuchel will be under pressure right from the first match as the official coach of the club. Tuchel will be looking to repeat his success at Chelsea at Bayern. Tuchel has been out of work since being sacked by Chelsea last September. He had also made a visit to India. He took up a rejuvenation programme at an ayurveda centre in Thrissur, Kerala. In an interview to local media channel, he has also said that India have a long way to go in football. Tuchel also spoke on his exit from Chelsea, saying that he enjoyed his stay at the club but could not stay back as coach due to a situation that had gone out of hand. 


A rejuvenated Tuchel will now be aiming to reach greater heights with 32-time Bundesliga champions.
