MUNICH - Welcomed with fanfare by Chelsea but then sacked just 19 months later in September 2022, Thomas Tuchel, who is returning to Germany as Bayern Munich's new coach, is one of Europe's most sought-after managers but is not without controversy.
The 49-year-old German has a reputation as a brilliant tactician who is not afraid to overhaul his side constantly.
But he also has a streak of sackings behind him with a bad-tempered exit at Borussia Dortmund in 2017 followed by an acrimonious parting from Paris Saint-Germain in December 2020, and most recently a tumultous departure from Chelsea.
Yet his turbulent CV has also shown that he has the capacity to bounce back to lead subsequent top-flight clubs.
The announcement on Friday that he is taking over the reins at Bayern - Germany's most successful club from Julian Nagelsmann on a two-year deal is yet another testimony to his employability.
On the field, the verdict so far is unanimous - every club that Tuchel has handled has obtained results and play attractive football, which was why Bayern had targeted him as their priority.
