Thomas Tuchel rose to prominence during his time with Mainz, leading Mainz to one of their best Bundesliga finishes, securing a move to Dortmund for himself. From 2015 to 2017 Dortmund became a title contender thanks to him. However, he achieved his greatest success as a Chelsea manager, leading the team to Champions League glory in his very first season on 2021 and multiple awards.

Let’s take a look at the top four clubs Thomas Tuchel could join after leaving Bayern Munich in Summer 2024:
Top 4 Clubs Thomas Tuchel Could Manage After Leaving Bayern Munich in Summer 2024
Chelsea
Thomas Tuchel was an instant hit when he joined the club, helping the team win the Champions League, the Super Cup and Club World Cup. But after a run of poor results and the arrival of new owners, Graham Potter was the man to replace him, despite protests from fans. And since coming on Pocchetino has had a lot of pressure on his shoulders to deliver results.
Pocchetino also lost his first cup final in charge of Chelsea as they became the first English club to lose six straight domestic cup finals. Chelsea may think about bringing him back to the Premier League, with Tuchel interested in a return to the Premier League.
Liverpool
Liverpool are seeking a top-flight manager to lead them next season, bearing in mind Jurgen Klopp’s confirmed departure at the end of the season. Thomas Tuchel might be the one to take them forward as both have managed Mainz and Dortmund as well and are big fans of each other. Thomas Tuchel also has experience managing a Premier League team with Chelsea. He has proven he is the perfect person to lead the team, as a manager of some of Europe’s biggest clubs like PSG.
Liverpool is flying high right now after their recent Carabao Cup win over Chelsea having finished the matches with so many academy players on the field with most of their main team players out injured. Thomas Tuchel likes to work with young players and inculcate them into the squad so it will be a good opportunity for him as well.
Manchester United
Erik Ten Hag has looked under pressure this season, with the club languishing in sixth place. He began his career at Old Trafford with great promise but questions about his future has being raised after several controversies and poor results.
Even though the new owners have shown no interest in sacking him as of now and there seems to be intention to support Erik ten Hag but if the Red Devils fails to qualify for the Champions League next season, it could mean the end of his honeymoon period with Manchester United. Thomas Tuchel may fancy his chances of managing at the Old Trafford as well given his experience in the Premier League.
Barcelona
Under the leadership of Xavi, Barcelona were expected to go back to the top again. And although Xavi made quite the start winning the La Liga in his first year, he failed to live up to the expectations of the club because of poor form and pressure from the fans and media.
Barcelona were expected to go back to the top again under the leadership of Xavi. Despite Xavi’s impressive start to his tenure, he has failed to live up to the aspirations of the club because of poor form and pressure from the fans and media. Having lost two cup ties already this season, the team also faces a hard task to fight for the La Liga this season.
The Champions League is their only chance at a silverware they have an abysmal record in it for the last few seasons. Appointing Tuchel could help them fix that because he is very good when it comes to winning cup ties and has won the trophy before with Chelsea. It remains to be seen what happens with Barca’s UCL aspirations as they have the 2nd leg to play at home against Napoli after having drawn to a 1-1 score line at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
