After five months away: Will Thomas Tuchel take over this club in England?

England - His end at FC Bayern Munich was inglorious from the club's point of view, will coach Thomas Tuchel (51) now return tosoccer after five months away ?

The successful coach, who won the Champions League with Chelsea FC in 2021, is about to return to the island.

The sea is getting rougher for Dutch coach Erik ten Hag (54) at Manchester United. According to a report in the newspaper"l", the club bosses want to start talks with Tuchel if ten Hag leaves. The Dutchman took over from Ralf Rangnick (66) in 2022.

However, things were already in crisis last season and the Dutchman was actually on the verge of being sacked several times. The team finished bottom of the Champions League group stage and the traditional club only finished eighth in the league.

In addition, there were numerous quarrels with the players, such as Jadon Sancho (24), who then fled to Borussia Dortmund.

However, after ten Hag and his team achieved a surprising victory in the FC Cup against Manchester City, his contract, which actually ran until the summer of 2025, was extended early until the end of June 2026.

However, things are not going well again this season in sporting terms. After six match days, the team is 13th in the table with just seven points.

In the Europa League, they failed to win at home against Twente Enschede (1:1) and away at FC Porto (3:3) - not enough for the club's standards.

The match on Sunday - against Bayern conquerors Aston Villa of all teams - could therefore become an "all or nothing" game for ten Hag.

However, according to the report, Tuchel will not take over immediately, but assistant coach and former Netherlands legend Ruud van Nistelrooy (48) will take over first.

In the meantime, the club wants to initiate talks with the German coach. However, this already took place in the summer and Tuchel is said to have turned it down.

If he really is on the list of those responsible, his phone will have been ringing for a long time.
