Thomas Tuchel no longer seems to be undisputed at FC Bayern. The coach himself is apparently dissatisfied with the situation in Munich.
As “Sport Bild” reports, Tuchel longs for the conditions in the Premier League. The 50-year-old is bothered by the lack of willingness for changes at FC Bayern.
Accordingly, Tuchel wanted to establish a new structure in the team in the summer and a new hierarchy should emerge. In addition to Harry Kane, the coach called for the transfers of Kyle Walker as well as Declan Rice and Moisés Caicedo for the midfield, according to the report. Wishes that were not fulfilled.
FC Bayern’s current fluctuations in performance would prove Tuchel right. Tuchel doesn’t find a good rapport with players with leadership potential like Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka or Thomas Müller.
Tuchel accusation to the FC Bayern players
The majority of professionals are also critical of Tuchel. Tactically, the team is convinced of the trainer, but the coach lacks closeness to the team and empathy.
The coach himself is said to have complained in the dressing room that Tuchel and the team were strangers after the slow start to 2024. “You don’t give me any energy!”, he accused his protégés of “Sport Bild”. A statement that, according to the report, caused discussions in the club and the team.
With his public flirtation with Spanish football, Tuchel may not have necessarily contributed to the mood on Säbener Strasse becoming more harmonious.
“I would definitely be interested in going abroad again,” he admitted during a fan club visit to Heidenheim. “Spain has an extraordinary league,” enthused Tuchel. The style of play is characterized by “an incredible amount of self-confidence”.
According to “Sport Bild”, FC Barcelona and Manchester United are among Tuchel’s dream clubs.
