In what has been a disappointing season for Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich, the German coach has failed to get the best out of his squad.
The reigning champions were humiliated by third division Saarbrucken in the DFB-Pokal (German Cup), and are now trailing behind Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points in the 2023/24 Bundesliga race. Despite having Harry Kane in red-hot form, scoring goals for fun, the rest of the team has not been up to the mark, and has let him down on many occasions.
Thomas Tuchel is facing a lot of criticism and pressure from the fans and the media, who are questioning his tactics, his selections, and his ability to motivate his players. The former PSG and Chelsea boss has a contract until 2025, but it seems unlikely that he will see it out unless he can turn things around quickly.
He needs to find a way to make his team more consistent, more cohesive, and more competitive, or else he might be looking for a new job soon.
Thomas Tuchel hasn’t ruled out a return to Chelsea
The former Spurs star may have to face another season without a trophy, even though he joined a team that had dominated the Bundesliga for over a decade. The club has already announced that they will part ways with their current manager, who failed to deliver the expected results.
He was rumored to be interested in taking over at Barcelona, where Xavi Hernandez is under pressure, or at Manchester United, where Erik ten Hag could be replaced by Sir Jim Ratcliffe. However, Sky Sports Germany’s reliable journalist, Florian Plettenberg, claims that he has not ruled out a return to Chelsea.
He may feel that he has some unfinished business at the Bridge, but he will have to get along with Todd Boehly, the owner of the club.
