Bayern Munich is preparing for a new coach for the upcoming 2024/25 season following the announcement of Thomas Tuchel’s departure from the club in the summer. Reports suggest that players who may have been discontented under the 50-year-old coach could reconsider and opt to stay rather than pursue transfers. Among them is Matthijs de Ligt, who is encouraging himself and his teammates to fully commit and work towards salvaging the season.
De Ligt on the decision to part ways with Tuchel: It doesn’t change much, we’re still together, we have to do it together. We still have to finish this season really strong. We’re still in the Champions League – we have to show our worth there. We want to win every game in the Bundesliga and put pressure on Leverkusen. The most important thing is that we got the fire back again today.

Leverkusen are eight points ahead of Bayern Munich in the league, while Lazio are leading in the Champions League. It remains to be seen if the rankings change in the upcoming weeks.
