Berlin, Aug 31 (Ians) Discovering the talent of Erling Haaland might elevate someone to heroic status in football. For Christoph Freund, the discovery of the Norwegian standout isn’t the only reason Bayern Munich took notice.
In eight years, Freund transformed Rb Salzburg into one of Europe’s prime talent factories. He’s credited with finding stars like Sadio Mane from Senegal, former Liverpool striker Naby Keita, Japanese International Takumi Minamino, and French international Dayot Upamecano, reports Xinhua.
Starting this Friday, the 46-year-old will step into his new role as Bayern Munich’s sporting director, succeeding the departed Hasan Salihamidzic. He has inked a deal that lasts until 2027.
Freund’s arrival fills a significant gap for Bayern. The team hasn’t seen a homegrown talent rise to its first team since Bavarian favorite Thomas Muller in 2009.
While there’s no guarantee Freund will uncover another Haaland, the bar is set high.

Berlin, Aug 28 (Ians) Harry Kane’s double was instrumental in Bayern Munich’s 3-1 win over a tenacious Augsburg at the culmination of the Bundesliga’s second round.
Playing in front of their home fans, the German heavyweights dominated possession but initially found it hard to penetrate Augsburg’s disciplined defense, reports Xinhua.
Surprisingly, Bayern’s first goal came with a little help from Augsburg’s Felix Uduokhai, who inadvertently redirected a blocked shot from Leroy Sane into his own net around the 30-minute mark.
In a further twist, Augsburg inadvertently set up Bayern’s second. Niklas Dorsch committed a handball in the box, presenting Kane with an opportunity. The Englishman confidently converted the 40th-minute penalty.
Kane, quite active throughout, could have extended the lead to three just four minutes into the second half, but he shot over the bar from a favorable position.

Berlin, Aug 13 (Ians) Leipzig secured their third club title after beating hosts Bayern Munich 3-0 courtesy of Dani Olmo’s hat trick at the 2023 Supercup.
The Red Bulls caught a fairy tale start on the road as Olmo broke the deadlock with only three minutes played when he tapped home a low cross from a central position inside the box, reports Xinhua.
Bayern responded well but neither Serge Gnabry nor Mathys Tel could beat Leipzig goalkeeper Janis Blaswich from promising positions.
The hosts kept it going and were unlucky at the half-hour mark as Leipzig defender Mohamed Simakan almost scored an own goal with a miscued clearance.
Clinical Leipzig doubled their lead and stunned Bayern out of thin air as Timo Werner’s through ball allowed Olmo to beat Bayern custodian Sven Ulreich from close range just before the break.

The German giants knew they needed a victory over Cologne to maintain their chances as well as a draw or defeat from Dortmund against Mainz.
Bayern caught a fairy-tale start into the last match day as Kingsley Coman finished off a counterattack from the edge of the box into the top right corner with eight minutes gone.

Berlin, May 22 (Ians) A sense of optimism appears to offer some solace to Thomas Tuchel as dark clouds gather over Bayern Munich. “Next season we will do better,” the 49-year-old coach asserted, hinting at a glimmer of hope amid the turmoil currently gripping the club.
Tuchel casts himself as a soothsayer, forecasting sunnier days ahead while the Bavarians currently weather a relentless storm, with no immediate reprieve in sight. Painting a hopeful picture seems to be his chosen method to avoid confronting the sensitive decisions that 2023 will inevitably demand, reports Xinhua.

Amid speculation over the futures of club leaders like Chairman Oliver Kahn and Sporting Director Hasan Salihamidzic, the disheartening defeat to Leipzig underscored the team’s apparent leadership deficit. The squad’s unraveling on home turf after just 30 minutes was not the first instance of Bayern squandering a seemingly secure game this season.

“Of course, the big teams that are dominant right now have a big number nine, which Bayern also had with Robert Lewandowski. He is absolutely a world-class scorer. Lewandowski’s absence means that we missed 40 goals in all competitions,” the German was quoted as saying on Saturday.
“The aim is to find and get one that guarantees over 25 goals per season, but there aren’t that many top strikers. Today every club is looking for these forwards, everyone wants them,” Tuchel added.

Munich (Germany), April 18 (Ians) To survive in stormy times, calmness seems the most promising recipe. Ahead of their Champions League last eight-round second leg against Manchester City this Wednesday evening, the struggling side of Bayern Munich seems to follow that guideline exactly.

Everyone is keeping their feet behind the line and focusing on creating a miracle after the 3-0 setback in the first leg against the Skyblues.
Current statistics might not create optimism. Defenders such as Dayot Upamecano and Benjamin Pavard scored the goals in the recent four games, while strikers and midfielders seem stuck in a fatal goal drought.

Berlin, April 12 (Ians) Taking on Europe’s presumed best side after only 15 days in charge might be one of the biggest challenges for a coach.
When signing his contract with Bayern Munich until 2024 about two weeks ago, Thomas Tuchel likely considered what was next in the Champions League quarterfinals, reports Xinhua.
The 49-year-old’s fourth game at the helm took the former Paris and Chelsea manager back to England, where he achieved his greatest success to date by leading Chelsea to win the 2021 Champions League final against Manchester City and their Spanish star coach Pep Guardiola.
This time, Tuchel was less fortunate despite devising a sophisticated tactical approach for what he called “a high-speed line-up.”

The visitors maintained their shape and restored parity only seven minutes later through Nicolas Hofler, who collected a clearance from Kingsley Coman before drilling the ball from 16 meters past Bayern goalkeeper Yann Sommer, a Xinhua report said.

Berlin, April 3 (Ians) There was only a small amount of celebration when the new coach of Bayern Munich, Thomas Tuchel, talked about his first game with the team.
The mission to regain the league lead might have been accomplished by beating Borussia Dortmund 4-2, but the victory seemed overshadowed by repeating turmoil due to the noisy dismissal of Tuchel’s predecessor Julian Nagelsmann, reports Xinhua.
Former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach Tuchel admitted he had rarely been as nervous as he was during his debut with the Bavarian club. The 49-year-old praised the determination and will of his new squad but spoke of “a lot of potential we have to reveal.”
Tuchel’s perfect start was somewhat clouded by growing tensions between Bayern’s leaders, the agents for sacked Nagelsmann, and Bayern icon Lothar Matthaeus.

Berlin (Germany), April 2 (Ians) Thomas Muller’s brace helped Bayern Munich cruise 4-2 past front-runners Borussia Dortmund and ensured a perfect debut for new head coach Thomas Tuchel at the 26th round of Bundesliga on Saturday.
With the result, Bayern moved past Dortmund and established a two-point gap atop the standings.
The Bvb caught a bright start on the road as Matthijs de Ligt had to block Marco Reus’ shot from inside the box with seven minutes played, reports Xinhua.
Bayern opened the scoring against the run of the game moments later as Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel cleared Dayot Upamecano’s long pass into the wrong goal.
Dortmund were shocked and had to swallow the second goal in the 18th minute after De Ligt flicked a cross into the path of Muller, who tapped home at the back post.

Berlin (Germany), March 30 (Ians) Two hearts might beat in the chest of Borussia Dortmund’s fans ahead of the delicate league encounter against Bayern Munich this Saturday evening.
The chances to win the team’s first Bundesliga title since 2012 might never have been greater. Table standings and a wave ride of eight wins and one draw trigger hopes of making it this time, as the Black and Yellows seem to bloom under coach Edin Terzic.
When the two top German clubs cross swords in the Allianz Arena, it will be a profound test of the past months such as determination and effectiveness for Bvb, reports Xinhua.
More than three points seem at stake as the encounter is going to affect the rest of the season. Dortmund must travel to Rb Leipzig for the German Cup quarterfinal following the Bayern game.

Berlin, March 28 (Ians) Only a small circle of people gathered on the training pitch, while a large crowd of fans and media had assembled outside to witness the first day of exercise of Bayern Munich’s new coach Thomas Tuchel.
With most of the squad away on international duty, only two sessions with the entire squad are possible until Saturday’s delicate Bundesliga duel against Borussia Dortmund.
The 49-year-old seemed to take the circumstances calmly as only Thomas Muller, Leroy Sane and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting reported for action, aside from six youth talents and a few back-benchers from the professional squad, reports Xinhua.
It is more than a bold guess that the start of the successor of sacked Julian Nagelsmann could have been easier.

Berlin, March 27 (Ians) Bayern Munich remains in a state of unrest after the dismissal of coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Despite having quickly found a suitable replacement, former Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel, the mood in the Bavarian club remains at an alarmingly low level, reports Xinhua.
While the 49-year-old Tuchel is going to conduct his first training session this Monday, fans and players seem to regret the surprise sacking of Nagelsmann.
Midfielders Leon Goretzka and Joshua Kimmich spoke about an emotional loss while praising the former coach as one of football’s best.
Kimmich denied reports of the 35-year-old Nagelsmann having lost the locker room.
Goretzka spoke about a deep relationship with the fired manager. “Not only I spent a lot of time on the training ground and meetings, we maybe spend more time with him as we did with our families over the past 18 months,” the German international added.

Munich, March 24 (Ians) German club Bayern Munich on Friday sacked manager Julian Nagelsmann after less than two years in charge and appointed Thomas Tuchel as his replacement until 2025.
The German side have won the last 10 Bundesliga titles and sit second in the table this season – one point behind leaders Borussia Dortmund. They beat Paris St-Germain to reach the Champions League quarter-finals, where they will face Manchester City.
The 49-year old Tuchel, who was sacked by Premier League club Chelsea in September, replaces Nagelsmann on a contract until 30 June 2025 and will take training for the first time on Monday.
“When we signed Julian Nagelsmann in the summer of 2021, we were convinced we would work with him on a long-term basis – and that was the goal of all of us right up to the end. But now we have come to the conclusion that the quality in our squad – despite the Bundesliga...

Berlin, March 24 (Ians) The reported dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann as coach of Bayern Munich might have come as a surprise on Friday.
Former Chelsea and Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel will be the successor, and an official confirmation is expected to come after Tuchel’s signing later. The timing though gives proof of the club’s unrest and impatience when it comes to in-house difficulties.
To win titles has been an obsession-like must over decades for the Bavarians with the successful leaders Uli Hoeness and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge in charge.
The duo’s success might have increased the pressure on their followers, chairman Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, a Xinhua report said.
Despite having beaten French giant Paris St German in the last 16 of the Champions League, the loss of the national league lead triggered serious concerns over a title-less disaster in the 2022/23 season.
Two years ago, Nagelsmann was seen as the rising coaching star.

Rid de Janeiro, Dec 26 (Ians) Zinedine Zidane has emerged as a frontrunner to assume Brazil’s vacant head coaching job, according to media reports in the South American country.
Zidane has been linked with the France managerial role but could make Brazil a priority if Didier Deschamps remains in charge of the Les Bleus, the newspaper O Globo reported on Sunday.
Deschamps told reporters after France’s defeat to Argentina in the World Cup final last Sunday (Dec 18) that he would discuss his future with French football federation chiefs in the coming days.
Zidane, 50, has been out of work since parting ways with Real Madrid, whom he led to three consecutive UEFA Champions League titles, in May last year, reports news agency Xinhua.

London, Sep 7 (Ians) In an unprecedented move, Chelsea have announced to sack their head coach Thomas Tuchel just hours after losing their Champions League debut 1-0 away to Dinamo Zagreb.
Tuesday’s defeat follows a disappointing start to the season, which had also seen the club lose to Leeds and Southampton in the Premier League. Furthermore, Tuchel was also involved in an ugly touchline incident with Tottenham coach Antonio Conte after their sides drew 1-1 earlier in the season.
The former Paris Saint Germain coach had only been at the club since January 2021 when he replaced Frank Lampard.
Last season, Tuchel took Chelsea to the Champions League semifinal, before losing to eventual winners, Real Madrid, and the third place in the Premier League. Chelsea also reached the Fa Cup and Carabeo Cup finals, both of which they lost to Liverpool on penalties.

London, Sep 4 (Ians) Premier League saw yet another Video Assistant Referee (Var) drama on Saturday as West Ham United manager labelled the decision to disallow a late goal for his side against Chelsea as ‘a ridiculously bad decision’ following their 2-1 defeat at Stamford Bridge.
West Ham manager David Moyes was left fuming after their late 89th minute equaliser got disallowed by Var over a suspected foul on Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy in the lead up to the goal. Moyes labelled the decision as ‘ridiculously bad’ which eventually led to West Ham’s 1-2 loss against Thomas Tuchel’s men.
“It was a scandalous decision today and I have spoken about it probably three or four times already before I have come to you and I just feel as if there’s not much more to say but that it’s a scandalous decision. It was never, never, never anything.

Rodgers confirmed that the 21-year-old, who missed training last week, will now train with the club’s development squad after asking to be allowed to move.
Rodgers had previously left the defender out of the squad for the weekend defeat to Southampton, saying he was “not quite in the right frame of mind.”

Both goals by Spurs should not stand, and then it's a fair result: Chelsea manager Tuchel lashes out
London, Aug 15 (Ians) A visibly upset Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel flayed the officiating in the Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur which ended in a 2-2 draw, saying he “has no words” and “no explanation” why both the rival goals were allowed by the referees.
