Top European Manager Rejects Bayern Munich, In Line For Arsenal Job

Thomas Tuchel was the overwhelming favourite to become the new Bayern Munich manager after Jupp Heynckes' latest stint ends at the end of the season, but reports say he has rejected the opportunity to manager the Bavarians.

The former Mainz man has been out of work ever since leaving Borussia Dortmund on bad terms despite winning the DFB Pokal in the 2016/17 campaign.

And while he's apparently turned down the chance to manager the biggest and best club in the Bundesliga, it's looking like he is in line to manage Arsenal in his next career move.

The 44-year old has also been linked with Chelsea, but German outlet Kicker going as far as saying that Tuchel will become the new Gunners boss. He had a frosty relationship with Arsenal head of recruitment Sven Mislintat which ultimately led to his departure but it's believed the pair are willing to put it all behind them.

Arsene Wenger signed a new two-year extension at the Emirates in May but with Arsenal's season hinging on victory in the Europa League, his lengthy stint in charge may well be coming to an end after all.

Arsenal fans, is Tuchel the man to take you forward?
