"I did not know! I'm a little surprised. Thanks to Nagelsmann, he was the one who wanted me at Bayern. All the luck in the world to him," Cancelo told the repoter, as per the Mirror.
When asked about Tuchel's arrival, he added, "As for Tuchel, he made me lose a Champions League final, so I hope he will win it for me this year!"
