Episode 26: Calling Mr. Tuchel

Dear listeners,

instead of focussing on the German national team and their return after the disastrous World Cup in Qatar, we have to talk about Bayern München, who have replaced "long-term manager" Julian Nagelsmann with Thomas Tuchel, whose availability was in jeopardy as Tottenham seemed to have zeroed in on him lately as a successor to Antonio Conte. Raphael and Christoph will get you up to date about all aspects of this surprising coaching change in Bavaria's capital.
But let's not forget about another former Bayern manager, Germany's manager Hansi Flick, who started a series of friendlies leading up to the European Championships in Germany in 2024 with a kind of convincing 2-0 win over Peru. The main takeaway: if you hit the post on a penalty, you're not allowed to hit the rebound into the goal if no defender touches it first. Thanks to Kai Havertz for clarifying this rule, that half of Twitter seems to have known nothing about.
Enjoy!
