The coach of Bayern Munich, Thomas Tuchel, has discussed the possibility of a surprise return for German central defender Jérôme Boateng, who is currently without a contract.
This news has sent shockwaves through Germany. According to reports from Sky Germany and Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich might soon announce the return of Jérôme Boateng. In the meantime, Boateng is training with the team under Thomas Tuchel’s guidance.
The player has been at the center of controversies due to legal issues, including allegations of domestic violence. He is set to be retried for these accusations. Tuchel, formerly the coach of Paris Saint-Germain, has only confirmed that Boateng is currently in training with the Bayern group. The final decision has not been made yet.
« Innocent until proven guilty when a trial is postponed. As a football club, we have the right to make football-related decisions. Jérôme is a player with a lot of merit and has the right to train with us. You know his position, you know what the situation was with the cup match. Jérôme is in Munich anyway and has kept himself in shape. He is training with us now, and we will see what we decide, » said Thomas Tuchel.
