Well, this just happened. Bayern Munich has fired Julian Nagelsmann with immediate effect, according to Bild, which is pretty much official. After the break for international play, the team will face Borussia Dortmund without him in charge. The front-runner to take his place is Thomas Tuchel.

Since everything is moving so quickly, we are unsure of where to look. @iMiaSanMia has all the details right now.

This news, which was first reported by Fabrizio Romano about 30 minutes ago, has taken the entire fanbase by surprise. Nothing that suggested Nagelsmann was about to leave the organization or that there was conflict behind the scenes. He's left now. According to kicker, Thomas Tuchel is already in talks to replace Pep Guardiola as Bayern's head coach. All of this was contained in Fabrizio's initial report and has been confirmed by German news outlets.

The question now is why. Why did this happen now? If Bayern had lost to PSG, then maybe it would’ve made sense. Sacking Nagelsmann now just seems so strange. Maybe something serious happened behind the scenes. We just don’t know yet. We’ll keep you updated as we find out more.

Update

We learn more about the Tuchel news from Fabrizio Romano. The signing has been completed and will soon take place. He will be in charge of the pivotal matches against Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund.
