On Friday, Thomas Tuchel and Jurgen Klopp reconfirmed that they will leave the club at the end of the season, while Xavi, who had announced that he would stay, will also face the dilemma of being sacked.
On 26 January, Jurgen Klopp unexpectedly announced that he would be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season. Just two days later, Xavi also announced his departure from Barcelona after losing to Villarreal. On 21 February, Bayern announced that Thomas Tuchel would leave the club at the end of the season.
The three famous coaches announced their departure ahead of schedule, which is a rare scene in world football. Soon, Barcelona and Bayern were in trouble, for various reasons, they could not find their ideal successors, and the rebound in results made fans call on Xavi and Tuchel to stay.
Barcelona were the first to make the decision, announcing on April 25 that Xavi would continue to coach. However, Xavi's previous remarks to Almeria angered Laporta and the Barca management, with the media revealing that Laporta had made the decision to sack Xavi.
After being rejected by Alonso, Nagelsmann and Rangnick, Bayern also wanted Tuchel to continue to coach, and the difference between the two sides was that Bayern wanted Tuchel to fulfill his previous contract, and Tuchel wanted to renew his contract.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference against Hoffenheim on Friday, Tuchel said: 'This is my last press conference in Sebena and we did talk but there was no agreement, so the decision made in February is still valid. ”
Almost at the same time, Klopp also said goodbye to the fans, "This is the most stressful week of my life and this moment has come. It's the last race of the season, and after that it's the holidays. ”
From 26 January, all three managers made the same choice, and although the three have since followed different paths, they may all end up leaving their respective clubs.
