No way.

No I'm pretty sure the tweet is just complimenting his haircut.

Phew.

I speak Dutch not Belgian, so i'll try my best to wing it.

"Scott Parker is no longer Head Coach (i.e. Manager) of Club Brugge."

Hope that's the right translation.

Him and his "yer da trying to be hip during his mid life crisis" clobber are out of here

That answers who will be Chris Wilder's eventual replacement at Watford.

[Colly]

Eventual is way too final a word to describe the Watford managerial situation.

[DavidMarrio]

Probably better to word it as Chris Wilder will be the next person to be sacked by Watford

[The Lusophone]

This one will be justified though as Chris Wilder is bad.

[Colly]

Worhammuh!

 

[Szumi]

This is definitely surprising

Not a huge surprise given the standards at Bayern are that they should win the Bundesliga by the middle of April and they are in no position for that this year.

It appears to have come as a huge surprise to their fanbase, it seems, who were relatively happy with Nagelsmann and aren't overly happy with the sacking.

I would say that Tuchel returning to knock Chelsea out of the Champions League was set in stone, if we weren't obviously going to lose to Real first.

First signing from Dortmund they haven't been happy about.

I think Tuchel makes sense to have Bayern win the Bundesliga again and maybe surprise in the UCL. But he's going to ultimately flame out with the squad like he always does, and Bayern will start again.

Yes, Bayern have disappointed this season, but they're also clearly in a bit of a rebuild. They've had some massive injury issues, and they sold the best 9 in the world this past summer. They replaced him with someone who isn't a proper 9, has been hurt most of the season, and who like many other players from last season's Liverpool squad, have lost their legs.

They're still going to win the league, and would have with Nagelsmann. He also completely out classed PSG in UCL, especially in the first leg. Whoever ends up getting him, is getting a very good manager

I like Thomas Tuchel because he has crazy eyes. He looks like he spends his spare time standing at bus stops shouting into the void.

[JasonM]

Feels to me that Tuchel was their first choice, but they couldn't get him so they went with nagelsmann.

Now they have a flimsy excuse and they're booting Nagelsmann and can get their first choice anyways.

I'm wondering if Spurs make a focused effort to hire Nagelsmann, but I don't know why he'd want to deal with that.
