Manchester City fans have been particularly interested in developments because their squad will play the Munich club in a two-leg encounter in the UEFA Champions League’s round of 16.
Joao Cancelo is the first member of the Bayern Munich team to be questioned about the barrage of reports that have surfaced throughout the evening as he speaks after Portugal’s 4-0 victory over Liechtenstein in a 2024 European Championship qualification match.
The on-loan Manchester City defender said, “I didn’t know! “, when informed of the impending firing of his current manager, Julian Nagelsmann. I was clueless! Sure, I’m a little taken aback.
“Julian Nagelsmann wanted me at Bayern, so I want to thank him for that” (Munich). The management was the one that sought me. I’m surprised by this, but I wish him the best of luck.
Cancelo went on to express his appreciation for Thomas Tuchel’s selection as his new manager and expressed his hope that the German coach will help him win his first Champions League championship and, in the process, eliminate his parent club Manchester City.
Joao Cancelo revealed, “As for (Thomas) Tuchel, he made me lose a Champions League final, therefore I hope he will win it for me this year.”
Now on a six-month loan from Manchester City to Bayern Munich, the 28-year-old left the Etihad Stadium in January. Bayern Munich holds the option to purchase the Portugal international for €70 million.
After the UEFA Champions League, City sources verified that Cancelo would be qualified to compete against his parent club since the January agreement did not contain any clauses limiting that possibility.
