Sadio Mane mourning family tragedy when he punched Leroy Sane

Sadio Mane was grieving the death of a close family member when he attacked Bayern team-mate Leroy Sane after his side's Champions League defeat at Manchester City. Mane has been fined by Bayern for punching Sane in the mouth during a dressing room row after the 3-0 quarter-final first-leg defeat on Tuesday. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Reports in Germany claim that the 31-year-old could still be sacked for leaving Sane with a cut lip or that the club may look to sell him in the summer less than a year after paying Liverpool £35m. He still has only over two years left on the £250,000-per-week contract he signed last summer. But Bayern Munich bosses are aware that Mane is in mourning after the death of his aunt in Senegal last week. The forme...

Bundesliga, Sports, UEFA

Images have emerged revealing Leroy Sane 'hiding' his lip from cameras after reports of a fight with Sadio Mane. Reports from Germany claimed Mane punched Sane in the dressing room after Bayern Munich's 3-0 defeat against Manchester City. And the punch reportedly left Sane with a bleeding lip.

Sadio Mane ‘suddenly attacked’ Bayern team-mate after Man City loss

Bundesliga

Sadio Mane and Leroy Sane were involved in a heated scuffle after Bayern Munich’s 3-0 defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday night, according to reports. The Bavarians went behind after 27 minutes at the Etihad in their Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash with City, with Rodri scoring a stunning effort with his weaker left foot. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But Bayern rallied at the start of the second half and were unfortunate not to equalise, before a mistake from Dayot Upamecano gifted Bernardo Silva another goal. Erling Haaland rounded off the game six minutes later, though Thomas Tuchel was happy with his side’s display despite the scoreline as Bayern recorded the highest possession of an opposition side against Guardiola at the ...

Thomas Tuchel gives awkward response when asked about Lampard’s Chelsea return

Premier League, Bundesliga

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel refused to be drawn on his former side Chelsea reappointing Frank Lampard as caretaker coach. Tuchel spent 20 months in charge of the club, having been appointed as Lampard's replacement in 2021. He went on to guide them to victory in the Champions League, masterminding a 1-0 win over Manchester City in the final. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); But, Tuchel was sacked by new owner Todd Boehly earlier this campaign after a poor start to the campaign. Chelsea then poached Graham Potter from Brighton as Tuchel's replacement, but he lasted only less than seven months before getting sacked. Potter departed this month with Chelsea languishing in 11th place in the Premier League and they decided to reappoint Lampard ...

Thomas Tuchel reveals “hurt” over Chelsea sacking after three-minute Boehly meeting

Bundesliga, Premier League

Thomas Tuchel has revealed he is still ‘hurt’ by Chelsea sacking on the eve of his first game in charge of Bayern Munich. The 49-year-old was ruthlessly sacked by Todd Boehly in September after a number of reported disagreements. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Tuchel had been linked with some jobs after his exit and had anticipated continuing his career in the Premier League, before Bayern came calling last week after their decision to part with Julian Nagelsmann. The former PSG manager remains a popular figure at Stamford Bridge and although he is relishing the task at hand as Bayern prepare for Der Klassiker against Dortmund tomorrow, he still can’t shake the feeling of injustice he felt after leaving Chelsea with unfinished business. ‘We had t...

Chelsea star opens door to reunion with Thomas Tuchel at Bayern

Premier League, Bundesliga

Kai Havertz says it would be tough to reject a move to Bayern Munich and has opened the door to a potential reunion with Thomas Tuchel. The 23-year-old was a key player under Tuchel during his time at Chelsea, having been utilised as a false number nine to great effect – particularly in the 2021 Champions League final, where he scored the goal in a 1-0 win over Manchester City. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Despite leading Chelsea’s scoring charts in the Premier League this campaign with seven goals, the west Londoners are said to be open to selling Havertz as they look to bring in a new, more orthodox striker to lead the line. Bayern have been linked with a move for the German star – who previously played for Bayer Leverkusen – while the likes o...

Graham Potter is fourth-best paid manager in the world ahead of Ancelotti & Tuchel with Top 12 revealed

Premier League, Bundesliga, Seria A, Sports

Chelsea head coach Graham Potter is the fourth-best paid manager in the world, ahead of even Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti. The under-fire Chelsea manager even earns more than his predecessor Thomas Tuchel in his new job in charge of Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The figures from French outlet L'Equipe show that three of the top four coaches on the highest salaries work in the Premier League. Potter pockets a huge £11,917,404 per year. By crunching the numbers, it works out that he takes home £993,117 every month, which equates to £229,180-per-week. Potter has had a tough start to life at Stamford Bridge with his side currently sitting in tenth place in the Premier League. In his 30 games in charge of the West...

Julian Nagelsmann involved in bust-up with Sadio Mane before Bayern sack

Bundesliga, Sports, Trending

Julian Nagelsmann had a furious bust-up with Sadio Mane shortly before he was sacked by Bayern Munich, according to reports. The 35-year-old was shockingly dismissed from the Allianz Arena last week, with former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel replacing him. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Even though Bayern were in contention to win a treble, Nagelsmann was sacked because the club weren’t dominating the Bundesliga as usual, with CEO Oliver Kahn saying: ‘We have come to the conclusion that the quality in our squad has come to the fore less and less often. ‘After the World Cup we have played less successfully and less attractively. The big fluctuations in performance have cast doubt on our goals for this season, but also our goals for the future.’ Mo...

Bundesliga

Bayern Munich's squad is split over the club's decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann as head coach, according to reports. The 35-year-old was dismissed on Friday, despite Bayern being only one point off the top of the Bundesliga table and winning all eight of their Champions League games this season. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Thomas Tuchel was unveiled as Bayern's new manager on Saturday. The German coach was contacted about the job three days before Nagelsmann was sacked. Reports have suggested not all of Bayern stars are happy with the decision, with German publication BILD claiming there are 'pro and anti-Nagelsmann factions' that have been formed in the dressing room. It is reported that there were seven players who wanted Nagelsman...

Why Bayern Munich ruthlessly sacked Julain Nagelsmann to hire Thomas Tuchel

Bundesliga, Sports

Julian Nagelsmann has now paid the price for Bayern Munich's poor display in the Bundesliga, with the manager set to be replaced by Thomas Tuchel. Nagelsmann took over as Bayern head coach less than two years ago, guiding them to the Bundesliga title last campaign. But he will now leave his job over the international break, with the club sitting second in the league, behind Borussia Dortmund. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); A defeat to Bayer Leverkusen proved to be Nagelsmann's last match in charge, though the 35-year-old did not feel his job was at risk. In fact, he went to Austria for some skiing before planning for Bayern's run-in to the end of the campaign. Those plans will not be needed now, with Bayern bosses taking the decision to fire the coa...
