Former Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel may once again take charge of Chelsea in London, according to journalist Florian Plettenberg.

According to the source, the 50-year-old is ready to return to work with Chelsea, provided that the club's management has full confidence in the transfer market. The German specialist is inspired by the idea of returning to Todd Bowley's project and believes that he did not complete his mission during his first stint at the helm of the Blues.

As a reminder, on 21 May, Chelsea officially announced the resignation of Thomas Tuchel.

Karl-Heinz Schnellinger, a former footballer of AC Milan and the German national team, a two-time FIFA World Cup winner, has died at the age of 86, the Daily Mail reports.

According to the source, Schnellinger died after a long illness in a hospital in Milan. In Germany, Karl-Heinz played for such teams as Cologne and Tennis-Borussia, while in Italy he represented AC Milan, Mantova and Roma. Together with the Rossoneri, Schnellinger won three Italian Cups and became the country's champion.

Brentford head coach Thomas Frank is now one of the main contenders for the post of the new Bayern coach. This is reported by German journalist Christian Falk on his Twitter page.

It is reported that the leadership of "Bayern" has already entered into negotiations with Frank regarding possible cooperation.

Previously, the Munich grandee failed to agree with several specialists, among them: Thomas Tuchel, Roberto De Dzerby and Ralph Rangnick.

Recall, Frank's current agreement with "Bretford" is valid until the end of the season 2026/2027.

Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso commented on his team's success in the current Bundesliga season. The Leverkusen team became one of only three teams in the 21st century to win the league without a single defeat.

- We will remember this time for a long time. This championship title is special for each of us. The victory is fully deserved, and we managed to remain unbeaten. This was our main goal after the match against Werder. I am sincerely happy, the fans can celebrate.

This is an important day for the club, for everyone here. We can be proud of what we have achieved and how we played. 90 points, no defeats - it will take us a little longer to realise this.

This is the first achievement in the history of the Bundesliga. This team will be written in golden letters in the history of the German championship," said Xabi Alonso.

Bayer Leverkusen defeated Augsburg in the home match of the 34th round of the German Bundesliga and finished the current season of the German championship without a single defeat. "The Pharmacists won 28 games and drew six times.

"Bayer became the first club in history to not lose a single game during the entire Bundesliga season. The Pharmacists also became the third team in the 21st century from the top 5 leagues to not lose a single game in the national championship. Prior to that, Arsenal (2003/2004 season) and Juventus (2011/2012 season) managed to do it.

Bayern Munich midfielder Thomas Muller has summed up the results of the 2023/24 season, in which the team failed to win a single title.

"We congratulate everyone who beat us this year, including, of course, the new German champions. Now we will put all this behind us, I am very much looking forward to finishing this season and starting a new one.

Maybe we didn't fit together as a team, maybe we needed a different type of player, maybe the coach should have done something different. Each of us is involved in the fact that we will have to start from scratch with a new coach," Bayern & Germany quoted Muller as saying.

Bayern Munich in the final round of the German championship season 2023/2024 lost away to Hoffenheim - 2:4.

As a result, Bayern finished this season in third place in the standings. This is the worst result for the first time since 2011, when the team also took third place.

Recall, the champion of Germany a few rounds before the end of the championship was Bayer Leverkusen, who did not lose a single match in the season. Stuttgart finished in second place.

Bayer Leverkusen continues its phenomenal season. Yesterday "pharmacists" in the final round of the German championship defeated "Augsburg" (2:1), which allowed Xabi Alonso's team to finish the tournament without a single defeat (28 wins, 6 draws, goal difference - 89:24).

At the same time, Bayer's winless streak in all tournaments has already reached 51 matches. The last time in official matches the team lost almost a year ago, on 27 May 2023, when in the last championship of Germany lost away to Bochum - 0:3.

It should be added that in the current season Leverkusen have two matches left to play - against Kaiserslautern in the German Cup final and against Italian Atalanta in the Europa League final.
