Thomas Tuchel left Bayern Munich with fans divided on his tenure — despite delivering a trophyless season, things weren’t all that bad for the ex-coach.
Aleksandar Pavlović, Bayern’s newest star in midfield who recently extended his contract up to 2029, praised and thanked Tuchel for something he will never forget in his life.
In an interview with Sky’s Kerry Hau, Pavlović said “I am very grateful for everything he and his coaching staff have done for me. They gave me the chance to show myself. I will never forget that.” (via @iMiaSanMia)
It’s no surprise that Pavlović feels this way since he was finally given his big break by Tuchel — and he made the most of it.
Regardless of what you think about Tuchel’s time at Bayern, he picked out a gem from the youth ranks and gifted fans a highly promising midfield talent — something people will remember him for at Bayern as the decades fly by.
