The news of Thomas Tuchel's appointment as England manager she certainly pleased a lot of people in Bayern, writes Sportal.bg. Today it became officially clear that the former coach of the Bavarians from January 1 next year will stand at the head of the “three lions”.
And the reason for the positive emotions in Bayern is prosaic - Tuchel had a contract with the German giant until the end of June 2025, although he left the club already this summer. Accordingly, Bayern paid the mentor's due salary, which is around 9 million euros per year.
With the appointment of Tuchel as English coach, the Bavarians will now save nearly 5 million euros, reports journalist Christian Falk from “Bild”. There was an agreement between the club and the coach that Bayern would not ask for any compensation money once he found a new club or became a national team coach.
So all parties involved are happy - Tuchel has a new job, Bayern saves a lot of money from his salary, which he will no longer pay from the beginning of the new year, and the English Football Association will not have to pay penalties.
