Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Thomas Tuchel never leave each other. After having had the Cameroonian under his orders in Mainz and Paris Saint-Germain, the German technician finds him for the third time. And it was at Bayern Munich where he was officially appointed coach this Friday March 24 in place of Julian Nagelsmann, sacked.
Entering the Bavarian locker room, Tuchel couldn’t help but approach Choupo-Moting’s place and take his jersey, while letting out a few nice words.
“Choupo coach for the third time, poor thing! »he said, laughing.
One of Bayern Munich’s in-form men, Choupo-Moting is the club’s second top scorer in the league (10 goals in 17 games) behind Jamal Musiala (11 goals in 24 games). But he has been resting for a few days due to back pain and was unable to respond to Cameroon’s call-up for the CAN 2023 qualifiers. He will certainly find Thomas Tuchel in the coming days.
