sport news Julian Nagelsmann SACKED by Bayern Munich with Thomas Tuchel to replace him trends now
Julian Nagelsmann has been sacked by Bayern Munich - with former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel lined up to replace him.
Bayern Munich, who have won the last 10 Bundesliga titles in a row, lie second in the league table, one point behind rivals Borussia Dortmund but bosses remain unconvinced by Nagelsmann and informed him on Thursday his services are no longer required.
The 35-year-old received the news while away on a skiing holiday and it arrived as a major shock with Bayern still in the title race and the Champions League.
Nagelsmann jetted back to Munich on Friday and was seen arriving at the training ground in a black Audi with his agents Kai Psotta and Sascha Breese.
A report from German newspaper Bild detailed that Nagelsmann, who was under contract through until 2026, could end up costing Bayern £62million to sack, due to continuing to pay his salary until he lands a new job, the compensation they paid RB Leipzig to get him and the costs to bin his coaching staff.

Assistant coaches Dino Toppmöller and Xaver Zembrod, as well as video analyst Benjamin Glück, are also leaving.
Nagelsmann has had his critics since he arrived and reports in Germany detailed his lack of player development and the fact he chose to go on holiday during the international break, at such a key moment in the season, sent out the wrong message.
His final match in charge was a 2-1 defeat away to Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen, which left them second in the table behind Borussia Dortmund, who they face in their next match on April 1.
