The ESPN FC team answer your tweets on Ed Woodward and Manchester United, Thomas Tuchel's managerial future and more.
Thomas Tuchel has turned down an offer to become the next Bayern Munich coach, according to multiple reports in Germany on Saturday.
Sport Bild first reported that Tuchel, the former Borussia Dortmund boss, had rejected overtures from Bayern and is already committed to join a club outside of the Bundesliga this summer.
Bayern's current manager, 72-year-old Jupp Heynckes has long said he intends to retire at the end of the season, though he's also often to declined to completely rule out the possibility of a return.
Earlier this month, Heynckes even talked up Tuchel as his potential successor, but the reports, also including those from Suddeutsche Zeitung and Sport1, say that is now out of the question.
SZ reported that Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, president Uli Hoeness and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic failed to convince Tuchel to take the Bayern job.
Where Tuchel ends up this summer is still to be revealed, though the likeliest candidates appear to be Chelsea or Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG are likely to set the dominoes in motion, with the French leaders unlikely to retain Unai Emery after their Champions League failure. Defender Thomas Meunier even said earlier on Saturday he expects PSG to change coaches.
The Guardian reported on Saturday that PSG have opened talks with Chelsea coach Antonio Conte, and should the Italian leave, that would create an opening for Tuchel.
Tuchel could also conceivably place Arsene Wenger, who is under massive pressure from Arsenal fans to depart, but the 44-year-old had a public falling out with the Gunners' head of recruitment Sven Mislintat, so working together would come with challenges.
