After the defeats in the top game at Bayer Leverkusen and in the Champions League round of 16 against Lazio Rome, coach Thomas Tuchel at FC Bayern apparently does not have to worry about his job. However, in just a few weeks things could look completely different.
“We heard that internally the next three games are very crucial,” said “Sky” reporter Kerry Hau, who has been closely following the German record champions for several years.
On Sunday (5:30 p.m.) FC Bayern travel to VfL Bochum, after which the home game against RB Leipzig (February 24th) and the away game at SC Freiburg (March 1st) await the Munich team.
The Tuchel team has to deliver in these games – even for the coach, who is no longer undisputed.
“If the team doesn’t play better and doesn’t give the impression that they are going through fire for this coach, then an early dismissal of Tuchel can no longer be ruled out,” explained Hau.
The journalist said that some players had already been asked by those responsible whether there were problems with the coach. “This topic will continue to accompany us.”
FC Bayern: Hansi Flick “in the back of the head” of the bosses?
“Bild” also reported that FC Bayern would continue with Tuchel for the time being. He is definitely still on the bench in Bochum.
Explosive: Hansi Flick is already being whispered on Säbener Strasse about a possible Tuchel successor. The ex-coach, who moved to the DFB in 2021 and was fired there in September 2023, is “in the back of the mind” of those in charge at FC Bayern, it is said.
Apart from the coaching question, there is currently “a lot of opposition” at FC Bayern, said Hau, and there are “uneasy times” in Munich. “Since the triple victory in 2020, the team and even the entire club have been in a downward spiral, actually in a self-destructive phase,” analyzed the insider. “There is a lack of leadership at all levels.”
