Thomas Tuchel is unsure whether he will actually be able to finish the season as coach of FC Bayern Munich if he has further negative experiences. “I don’t know what the future holds,” the coach told the pay-TV channel “Sky” before the Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig on Saturday: “We hoped to avoid all the further speculation surrounding every scenario. We didn’t succeed because we were faced with the next scenario right before the first minute of the game.” The pay-TV broadcaster had previously put forward the theory that Tuchel had the choice between during the conversation with CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen on Tuesday leave immediately or at the end of the season.

FC Bayern announced on Wednesday that Tuchel would be retiring at the end of the season, one year before the end of his contract. Even if the Munich team were eliminated from the DFB Cup, are well behind Bayer Leverkusen in the league and lost the first leg in the Champions League round of 16, there could still be a happy ending. “Everything is possible in sport,” said Tuchel.

He would be surprised that the announcement of his imminent departure would have a liberating effect on the players. “I don’t have the feeling that I’m the burden,” said the coach, who has scored an average of 2.02 points from 44 games on the FCB sidelines so far.

After Louis van Gaal’s term came to an early end with a lot of background noise, former coach Heynckes took over again. After three second places in the last titleless season of 2011/12, he can try to return to the top – and celebrates the triple in the summer of 2013. But his farewell is already certain because Munich has signed Pep Guardiola. Heynckes makes it clear that he is not comfortable with all the details of the replacement.

The Catalan star coach is the last Munich coach to leave, as was agreed upon when the contract was signed. Guardiola even suffered four competitive defeats in a row in 2015. The Munich team is eliminated in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup and the Champions League, but they are already confirmed as champions. The former Barcelona coach decides not to extend the contract during his third season. In his Bayern era, the only thing he was denied was the Champions League final.

The current successful Real coach is celebrating the double in his first season. When he had to leave early the following season, his team was only in third place in the Bundesliga table. The 3-0 defeat at PSG in September 2017, when Ancelotti stunned the Bayern bosses with his line-up and angered leading players, ensured the Italian’s ice time. Just 17 hours after the slap in Paris, humiliated FC Bayern threw their coach out the door. First Willy Sagnol helps out for a short time, then triple winner Heynckes takes over again until the masterful end of the season.

Niko Kovac – July 1, 2018 to November 3, 2019

As Heynckes’ successor, Kovac had to deal with his first serious setback in March 2019 with the clear round of 16 exit in the Champions League against Liverpool FC. There is repeated friction with leading players. There are trends in the team that want to get rid of the coach. Kovac celebrates the double in 2019, it ends in autumn. After a 5-1 defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt after three wins, FC Bayern parted ways with Kovac. At this point, the Munich team is only in fourth place in the table.

Hansi Flick – November 3rd, 2019 to June 30th, 2021

As Kovac’s successor, Flick will initially be interim coach, and later he will be given responsibility for the star ensemble for a longer period of time. He records victory after victory. Flick also celebrates the triple and a historic six titles in one year. This gives him a contract extension until June 30, 2023, but the collaboration will be ended early. There are repeated differences of opinion with the then sports director Hasan Salihamidzic. Flick also really wants to succeed Joachim Löw as national coach. The club and coach agree to terminate the contract.

Julian Nagelsmann – July 1st, 2021 to March 24th, 2023

After a 1-2 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen after four competitive wins, FC Bayern slipped to second place in the Bundesliga. The then bosses Oliver Kahn and Salihamidzic see the season’s goals at risk and parted ways with Nagelsmann, who had signed a contract until 2026. The team is still involved in the cup and Champions League at this point. “Julian Nagelsmann shouldn’t have gone on a skiing holiday after the defeat in Leverkusen. If he had stayed in Munich, we would have sat down and talked on Monday or Tuesday. And, who knows what would have happened then?” Honorary President Uli Hoeneß raises a separation theory a little later.
