Hamburg woos Tuchel with huge offer
Print Edition
GERMAN Bundesliga struggler Hamburger SV has offered Germany’s rising-star coach Thomas Tuchel a four-year deal worth 3.2 million euros (US$3.4 million) per season with 25 million euros available for new players, according to reports.
Both German daily Bild and Hamburg newspaper Handelsblatt say the 41-year-old Tuchel has been made the bumper offer in a bid to revive Hamburg’s flagging fortunes.
The 1983 European Cup winner only narrowly avoided a first relegation from Germany’s top-flight last season and is currently down in the bottom three. Hamburg sacked Joe Zinnbauer ten days ago with sports director Peter Knaebel, who is its third coach this season, currently in charge until the end of the season.
More worryingly for the Hanseatic city team is that it has gone through 14 different coaches in the last decade.
Having spend five years at Mainz, Tuchel is regarded in Germany as a future coach of the national side and has a reputation for coaxing impressive results from mediocre teams.
He’s been out of work since May 2014 after a falling out with Mainz.
“Thomas Tuchel costs a lot of money, but whether or not he’s expensive you have to work out for yourself,” said Hamburg’s chairman Karl Gernandt.
“If he’s worth it, then he’s not expensive.”
With stars Rafael van der Vaart, Marcell Jansen, Gojko Kacar and Ivo Ilicevic all set to leave at the end of the season, Hamburg expects to save 9.3 million euros in wages.
