New Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel admits being sacked by Chelsea came as a shock.

The German was appointed by Bayern Munich last Friday, where he will make his debut against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.

At the pre-match press conference, Tuchel was asked about his sacking at Chelsea.

"We had big plans at Chelsea, so it came as a shock," said Tuchel. "It hurts not to see people from the club anymore. We had fun and had a close bond, I miss that most of all.

"Now I am in a new job at a big club."
