Bayern Munich: Thomas Tuchel is under pressure!

As the minutes tick by, Thomas Tuchel continues to see his credit fade. Appointed at the head of Bayern Munich with the mission of returning the club to its usual heights, the former PSG coach is currently struggling to find the right path. Since his inauguration ten months ago, Tuchel has suffered a series of failures: elimination in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and German Cup last year, humiliation this season in the 1/16 finals of the DFB Pokal against a team third division, slap received in the Bundesliga against Frankfurt (5-1), which allowed the leader of Leverkusen to fly away (Bayern is 2nd in the championship with 7 points behind but a game in less)…

So many elements which obviously weaken the 50-year-old technician, who arrived with the aim of making Julian Nagelsmann forget. And obviously, his last outing during the defeat suffered last weekend against Werder Bremen (1-0) should also leave its mark. “I no longer want to say that we train well, no one believes it anymore.

If the club is now looking for stability in its coaching position (Ancelotti, Heynckes, Kovac, Flick and Nagelsmann stayed in the position for less than two years), BILD assures that the pressure around Tuchel is not likely to decrease at the moment, and that his management could quickly lose patience.

Furthermore, the daily adds that Thomas Tuchel would be partly responsible for the desire to leave certain players, like Alphonso Davies, Leon Goretzka, who has become a spare wheel in the mind of his coach, or even Joshua Kimmich , losing momentum this season and furious with Tuchel last weekend. His declarations, but also his choices, such as the repositioning of his handyman, Leroy Sané, as left back, always raise questions internally. Last Saturday, the club’s ultras also fanned the embers by deploying a hostile banner against Tuchel in the stands. A volcanic winter…
