Does Thomas Tuchel understand the lesson? The sudden dismissal of his predecessor Nagelsmann should prompt him to maintain a good relationship with the players, especially with Thomas Mueller, Bayern’s “fan favorite”, as several coaches of the team were dismissed following disagreements with him!
After Bayern was planning a long career with young coach Julian Nagelsmann (35 years), The German coach was suddenly sacked From the Bavarian team training. Football director Hasan Salihamidzic said during his introduction The new coach, Thomas Tuchel It is “no longer compatible” between Nagelsmann and the Bavarian team.
Since the end of Pep Guardiola’s contract with Bayern, according to the agreed period of three years, no other coach with the German league champion has lived for more than a year and a half, and we are talking here regarding coaches of the weight of Carlo Ancelotti, Niko Kovac and Hansi Flick.
According to journalist Dominic Voss on the German “Focus Online” website, this is an unusually fast carousel for a club as big as Bayern Munich, being accelerated once more and once more by strong players in the dressing room and there always seems to be one person in particular. He has a hand in the game: Thomas Müller. And Voss adds: History shows that “anyone who messes with the symbol of the club (Muller) has no future in Munich.”
According to Kicker magazine, Mueller, 33, was not a supporter of Nagelsmann, but recently, following the World Cup in Qatar, Mueller returned and shone and imposed himself as a mainstay in the squad of his young compatriot, although the relationship between them was not good. The straw that broke the camel’s back was when Nagelsmann replaced Mueller following only 45 minutes in the match that took place. Bayern lost it 1-2 in the Bundesliga to Bayer Leverkusen, After which Nagelsmann was dismissed.
Nagelsmann’s dismissal shocked former Bayern star Mario Basler “and it was quite a surprise,” according to what Basler, 54, said in his “podcast”. Basler, the former Bundesliga top scorer and winner of the European Championships in 1996, suspects that Thomas Muller “may have played a role once more” in the dismissal of the team coach.
In fact, Thomas Mueller did not speak directly following Nagelsmann’s dismissal last Friday, and he did not appear until Sunday, when he posted on his pages on social networking sites a picture of him shaking hands with Nagelsmann and wrote on it, “Thank you and your team for your mission, dear Julian Nagelsmann.”
A report by the newspaper “Bild” had stated that “Mueller was neutral in his position towards his former coach.”
Ancelotti and speech regarding the language barrier
As for Dominic Voss, he wrote that Nagelsmann is not the first coach to mess with Mueller. Even Carlo Ancelotti himself had problems with the Bavarian team’s “darling”, who seemed in Ancelotti’s first season as if “foreign object in the team”, Especially early in the season.
And at the start of the following season (2017/18), Müller publicly announced his His dissatisfaction with the Italian coach A few weeks later, Ancelotti was sacked following a disastrous 3-0 defeat by Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
And yet Ancelotti’s dismissal Mueller said that one of the problems with Ancelotti and his team was the language barrier and that there was a problem with the leading players and poor training sessions.
Mueller’s wife criticizes Kovac
After Ancelotti, the German Jupp Heynckes came and saved Bayern’s season and won the league, and following him in the 2018/2019 season came the Croatian Nikokovac and before the end of the Hap stage, Kovac faced criticism, not from Mueller himself but from his wife, Lisa Mueller, Who commented on Instagram regarding Thomas sitting on the bench for 70 minutes in a league match, saying that the coach “was waiting for a brainstorm to suddenly come to him.” After the match, Mueller defended his wife and said, “I don’t think this is good, but what should I do? She loves me.” Mueller added that Lisa had apologized to Kovac in the stands, “but the act was an insight into the troubled relationship between coach and player,” says Voss.
Thomas Muller’s relationship with Niko Kovac was not a good one, and the Croatian coach (left of the picture) ended up leaving Bayern.
A year following the Lisa Mueller incident, Kovac publicly stated that Thomas had become a reserve player and said at a press conference regarding Mueller’s role: “If there is an emergency, he will definitely get his minutes.” Then Mueller responded and asked Bayern Munich to let him go during the winter break.
He was not allowed to leave, but only one month following the coach talked regarding Mueller’s role, Niko Kovac’s career with Bayern ended, so Hansi Flick took over and led Munich to the historic sextuple. In his era, Mueller turned into a trumpet and Flick’s arm extended on the field. One of the mainstays of the team. As written by Dominic Voss.
And now Thomas Tuchel has come as coach of the team, and Thomas Mueller is in one of his most brilliant stages, so what will happen between them?
