Thomas Tuchel succeeds his predecessor Julian Nagelsmann after the defeat against Leipzig. Meanwhile, the ex-Bayern coach is back in talks in England.
Munich – Thomas Tuchel came to FC Bayern as Julian Nagelsmann's successor and was supposed to save the season. After two months in office, the record champions are facing their first titleless season in eleven years. Tuchel is reacting increasingly irritably to the crisis and is openly opposing his predecessor Nagelsmann for the first time.

Tuchel thin-skinned after Bayern bankruptcy: taunting predecessor Nagelsmann
After being knocked out in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal and the Champions League, FC Bayern are also in danger of missing out on the German championship. After the 1-3 defeat against RB Leipzig last weekend, the gap to new league leaders Borussia Dortmund is two points with one matchday to go before the end of the season.
Tuchel raged after Bayern's defeat: "If we lose, I want to lose a better team, a better form on the day. I don't want to lose because the game just slips through our hands. Because no one does what makes us strong and what makes a team strong." The 49-year-old seems increasingly perplexed by the fluctuating performances of his players. In the heat of the moment, Tuchel even slipped out a thoughtless statement in the direction of Nagelsmann.

Tuchel steps up against Nagelsmann – Ex-Bayern coach back in England under discussion
"If everything had been fine, you wouldn't have had to change the coach," Tuchel said after the game. The Krumbacher teases Nagelsmann for the first time, but did not want to shirk his responsibility despite his dissatisfaction with the season. "And in any case, we're not running away from responsibility and we're going to get there." One thing is certain: Tuchel has a catastrophic record at FC Bayern, figures show the bitter Nagelsmann comparison.
"That was the first time that there was a small spike against Nagelsmann. Translated, this means: What has to be worked through now, Tuchel just can't do in the short time," said Bild football boss Christian Falk in the TV show "Lage der Liga". "Tuchel never followed suit. But now you realize how thin-skinned he is getting and that it is slowly coming up. He always says he's in charge now, but it's already come through that he's not responsible for everything that's happening now, because he's only been here for a few weeks."
Salihamidzic admits: Change of coach from Nagelsmann to Tuchel has brought nothing
Bayern sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic, who made a deep impression with his appearance, even admitted that the change of coach from Nagelsmann to Tuchel would not have helped in view of the impending titleless season. However, Brazzo would change coaches again at any time and attested to Tuchel "really good work".
