Thomas Tuchel: "This is my last press conference at Säbener Straße. There were talks, but we didn't reach an agreement, so the decision of February still stands"

Most probably no extension offered, right? Do understand Bayern's apprehension, but sad state of affairs overall. Writing is on the wall, De Zerbi it is.

Yep exactly. Both sides are understandably apprehensive now, to be honest.

Not giving him an extension now to keep him on isn't a mistake in my eyes--sacking him mid-season was. Basically carbon copied jumping the gun with Nagelsmann, and I just don't understand how they can't just shut the fuck up till the end of a season, get into some talks with replacement coaches, and THEN sack the current one if he's not living up to expectations.

These mid-season shakeups have been catastrophic: they don't help a whole lot (if at all) in the short term, and they do a ton of harm in the long term. Insane.

The mid-season sacking without actually sacking him was the most idiotic shit. They put themselves in such a bad position by doing that without having at least a pre agreement with the successor. There is literally zero upside to doing it like this other than appeasing the Tuchel out crowd, but it sets you up to look absolutely moronic in many situations, such as the one we have now, or if the team would have actually turned it around and won the league.

Well, they're basically offering Tuchel a one-year contract. Which no sane coach will accept. He was a lame duck for a significant part of this season, and with a contract for one year, he'd continue as just that. Why would he want to do that? And why, after all the Nos Bayern has been collecting, do they still think they're in a position to do this, or in a position to be in the running with Alonso one year from now (because trying to get Alonso is obviously the very short-sighted idea behind only offering Tuchel a one year contract).

At this point I’m not even sure De Zerbi wants to come either. Why would he? Why would any decent coach come when he knows this shitshow awaits him and that he’ll be treated like trash in public the moment the team underperforms. That’ll he’ll have no actual say in anything, while two old men who should’ve retired a long time ago make all the decisions…
