until the day i am on the bench for the success of bayern. they try. i think that tuchel's decisions regarding kimmich and gretzka , as well as the change in bayern's style of play, which was not liked by the players, caused this team to not get good results, and the club's managers, who took such a position on nagelsmann last year, decided to end cooperation with take a hole on the other hand, xavi did not get brilliant results with his team and left the competition to rial and even girona. the best opportunity it is for barcelona and laporte to send this coach to spain in the summer. laporto has been looking for a coach since the year tuchel won the ucl championship with chelsea, but the blaugrana's troubled financial situation did not allow the german coach to go to barcelona. meanwhile , barcelona's management team is also monitoring other options such as dizerby and flick. in this group, the hands of the catalans become more open to choose their head coach, and it also makes each of these three coaches reduce their hand to take over the leadership
