Bayern caused a surprise when they sacked Julian Nagelsmann last week.

They weren't without a manager for long as they quickly named Thomas Tuchel as his successor.

"It's an honour and a distinction to be approached by FC Bayern. My express thanks for the trust placed in me go to Oliver Kahn, Hasan Salihamidžić, Herbert Hainer and Uli Hoeneß," said Tuchel, per Bayern's official website.

"When you work abroad for a while, you become even more aware of the importance of FC Bayern. The club's DNA involves a commitment. Bayern is about winning, also about the way of winning.

"The squad is one of the most talented and best squads in Europe. I'm really looking forward to working with this squad. You're a contender for every trophy with these players. It's also a big commitment."
