Borussia Dortmund boss and Arsenal target Thomas Tuchel QUITS the Bundesliga giants following bust-up with club chiefs
German boss is no longer in charge at the Westfalenstadion following a very public fall-out with club chiefs this season
BORUSSIA DORTMUND boss and Arsenal target Thomas Tuchel has QUIT the Bundesliga giants.
The German boss, 43, is no longer in charge at the Westfalenstadion following a very public fall-out with club chiefs this season.
German outlet Bild are reporting Tuchel has walked away from the club, having just got his hands on the DFB Pokal trophy on Saturday.
On his resignation, Tuchel said: Thank you to the fans, the team, the staff and to all who have supported us.
"I wish all the best to Borussia Dortmund."
The Bundesliga side’s CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke admitted his relationship with Tuchel had become increasingly strained over the decision to face Monaco just a day after the bomb blasts.
The squad was left shaken and defender Marc Barta needed a wrist operation after three explosions hit the Dortmund bus on the way to their first leg on April 11.
Boss Tuchel claimed that he had not been involved in the decision “at all” to play the game just 24 hours later.
Tuchel is thought to have the support of Dortmund chairman Reinhard Rauball.
But Bild claim the breakdown in relations with Watzke saw the end of Tuchel – a year before the end of his contract.
