Guess he was pissed at Aubameyang being sold. Sounds like he gave them an ultimatum.

United wouldn't do badly in raiding Dortmund for Pulisic or Dembele, mind.

Quick fire Jose aswell so we get him.

Just joking of course but he's a proper United manager and one that should replace Jose once his time is up.

Why did they sack him?

Arsene Wenger seen sprinting towards his new contract 4 minutes ago too. Has to get it signed before Kroenke gets on twitter.

Is he all that? He's done an okay job at Dortmund, wouldn't be bothered if he ended up at Arsenal.

I reall hope wenger hasn't signed as of right now. Could you imagine the reaction of the anti-wenger sect of their board? :lol::lol:

Tuchel should be contacted immediately by arsenal.

This will add to the hilarity of the imminent Wenger extension announcement.

I think he is. No coach at Dortmund ever averaged more points per game. Last season was one of the best in Dortmund's history and this year he won them their first title in five years and qualified for the champions league despite losing three key players in Hummels, Gündogan and Mkhitaryan. They were also struggling with injuries and they have an incredibly young team. Don't know about many other coaches who could pull this off.

This could well be it for Wenger now - I thought he should have used one of the previous two cup wins as a reason to go out on a high, maybe he realises this is as much as he can offer the club now.

Unsure why Arsenal would want a manager who's fallen out with everyone at his club. They want stability. Also everyone with a passing interest in this knew he was on the way out for months so this won't change anything at Arsenal. If Wenger was offered a contract that's what's on the table not Tuchel.

If stability is more important than actual success, you have a point. I don't really see what all the stability has done for Arsenal.

This is how Kicker Magazine put it:
"Tuchel provoked rejection on every internal level; probably no one ever before managed to antagonize so extraordinarily many people on the most diverse of club levels."

I'm not exactly sure what you're refering to, but there is little reason to doubt Tuchel's coaching skills. He faced a difficult season after losing Hummels, Mkhitaryan and Gündogan things piled on with Reus and Götze basically missing half a season each and he came out of it with a direct CL qualification, a group win over Real and the QF in the CL and a domestic cup. If it wasn't for his personality Dortmund would've probably been more than happy to extend his contract.

Dortmund selling policy is really cringy. They could have a League / CL challenging team and they keep selling their best players every single year.
Hard to do anything when your policy aims you to be a mid table team

How did he last so long at Mainz?

They seem to sell late as well. Most of the the players they have sold have been in the last year of their contract. Kagawa,Mikhitaryan,Hummels etc

Might be better selling players earlier and get more money for them.
