n Bayern sack coach
Bayern Munich parted ways with coach Julian Nagelsmann yesterday and appointed former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel as his successor, with the German champions in second place in the Bundesliga. Nagelsmann, 35, had taken over in 2021 and led the Bavarians to their 10th straight German league crown but failed to win any other silverware last season. Bayern crashed out in the German Cup second round after a demolition by Borussia Moenchengladbach and were then eliminated from the Champions League in a quarter-final defeat to Spanish underdogs Villarreal last term.
