Former Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel has reportedly dropped out of the running as a possible head coach of Bayern Munich next season while reports also claim that the 44-year-old has agreed a deal to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal next season.
Both German daily newspapers Bild and Munich-based Sueddeutsche Zeitung claim Tuchel, 44, has told Bayern he is no longer interested in succeeding Jupp Heynckes.
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung say senior Bayern figures Uli Hoeness, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic held a telephone conference with Tuchel on Friday, but failed to persuade him. Tuchel’s agent, Olaf Meinking, was not available for comment on Sunday.
Borussia Dortmund fired Tuchel at the end of last season, despite winning the German Cup, following a falling out with the club. According to German magazine Kicker, he has agreed a deal to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal next season.
Last Friday Tuchel told FCB officials that he did not want to be the new coach of the German champions. He had decided on a club abroad and already signed there… He will replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
