Bavarian Podcast Works S7E16: Checking on where Bayern Munich stands as we hit the international break; Has Jamal Musiala made the leap?; Checking out Germany’s roster; and MORE!

So this came out of nowhere and we just HAD to react to it. Bayern Munich have decided to sack Julian Nagelsmann with immediate effect, and former Chelsea and BVB coach Thomas Tuchel is set to be named his successor. This is an insane set of developments, especially given the timing during an international break and with the game vs Borussia Dortmund coming right after.In this special edition reaction (or rant) episode, INNN and Schnitzel talk about the following: The strange timing of the decision. Arguing back and forth about Nagelsmann’s record and the decision to sack him. Can Thomas Tuchel get Bayern on track before facing BVB and Manchester City? What criteria does Tuchel need to fulfill to be a success at Bayern? What happens to the board if Tuchel can’t hack it? And arguments. Lots and lots of arguments. Especially about the DFB Pokal for some reason.Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.

FC Barcelona might sell Robert Lewandowski...would you bring him back? The acquisition of Sadio Mané was heralded during the summer, but there were always some reasons to think it would not be a perfect fit. Has he been successful? Is it fair to assess him at this point? Would you make the move again?Be sure to stay tuned to Bavarian Podcast Works for all of your up to date coverage on Bayern Munich and Germany.
