FC Bayern: Cancelo “surprised” by the alleged Nagelsmann-Aus – lost against Tuchel CL final

After qualifying for the European Championship with Portugal

João Cancelo was noticeably surprised by the alleged departure of coach Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern. “I did not know that. I’m a little surprised. I would like to thank coach Nagelsmann, because it was he who wanted me at Bayern, as did the club management,” said the full-back on loan from Manchester City on Thursday evening on “Sport TV” after Portugal’s 4-0 win over Liechtenstein .

“That took me by surprise. I wish him all the luck in the world. When I arrive, I’ll try to fit into the new coach’s concept as much as possible,” Cancelo continued. According to consistent reports, Thomas Tuchel takes over for Nagelsmann, whom Cancelo remembers from one game in particular. “As for Tuchel, he made me lose a Champions League final so I hope he will win it for me this year.” In 2021, the 49-year-old had played with Chelsea in the ” Premier class” triumphed after beating Man City 1-0.

Nagelsmann switched from RB Leipzig to Munich in 2021 for the coaching world record sum of 25 million euros and had signed until 2026. Since then he has scored an average of 2.31 points from 84 competitive games, won the championship and the Supercup twice. However, Tuchel has been without a club since his surprising departure from Chelsea in September. Before his commitment to Paris Saint-Germain in 2018, he was repeatedly traded as a candidate for Bayern. There have recently been reports that he is squinting at the job at Real Madrid, but could also imagine the German record champions for his next coaching position. In addition, he is said to have recently been in talks with Tottenham Hotspur.
