Bayern Munich ‘ready to make humiliating approach to sacked boss after losing title to Bayer Leverkusen’

TOMMY TUCHEL could not have done it better had he submitted his CV to LinkedIn or Indeed.

Somehow mustering some gumption from the worst Bayern Munich team in more than a decade to stop a rampant Arsenal dead in their tracks is a spectacular job advert for a manager soon to be looking for work.

If Sir Jim Ratcliffe wasn’t watching from his Old Trafford office or from the cinema room in one of his tax havens, he should have been.

They may have even sat up and taken notice in Newcastle or in the owners’ Riyadh hub as Tuchel reminded everyone of his credentials as a top-level coach with devilish timing.

If change is coming then Tuchel is playing a trump card.

His side turned up and cowed the team that, as far as the current Premier League goes, is the best in England.

It may only add to the questions around Tuchel that after tossing away the only league easier to win than Scotland’s or Spain’s, Munich have sprung to life in Europe.

After 11 years unopposed as German champions, Chelsea’s former manager has chucked it in at home in a remarkable act of ineptitude. But freak years can happen.

Tuchel is an enigma. But that is part of the appeal as much as winning the Champions League with Chelsea just three months after taking the job.

With no new signings, he took a team that had lost five of the previous ten games and turned them into European Champions.

With Ratcliffe considering swingeing budget cuts at Old Trafford, a coach who can perform wonders on peanuts would be music to his ears.
