Sky expert Didi Hamann attacked Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel for his flirtation with Spain.
Now Munich bosses are reacting to this.
Munich - Didi Hamann (50) has already criticized Thomas Tuchel (50/contract until 2025) several times.
Now the Sky expert is shooting again against the FC Bayern coach.
Reason: Tuchel's flirtation with Spain as part of his fan club visit to the "Red Stars" in Heidenheim on Sunday.
Tuchel visits the Bayern fan club
There he was asked by a supporter whether he could imagine a job in La Liga.
“Sure, Spain... This is an extraordinary league,” said Tuchel.
He finds the league in Spain “extraordinary” because it is “characterized by insane self-confidence”.
He also explained: “When you talk to Spanish players, you have the feeling that you talk to people very quickly.” What makes the statements explosive: Xavi (44), the coach of FC Barcelona, announced on Saturday that to leave the Catalan club at the end of the season.
Tuchel's statements anger ex-Bayern player Hamann.
“Then he sits down and talks about Xavi, about the successor and that he would like to train in Barcelona or Spain.
“That’s an outrage,” he said on “Sky90.”
“He's a very intelligent man, something like that doesn't just slip out of his mouth.
He just needs to know one thing: if you're an employee of FC Bayern, taking on the management - that was rarely a good idea.

Is Hamann right about that?
If you look at Louis van Gaal's (72) time as coach in Munich, then yes.
Especially in his second season, the Dutchman and Uli Hoeneß (72), two alpha animals, clashed more and more often and even publicly.
In April 2011, the “Tulip General,” whose management players were complaining about at the time, was fired.
Tuchel has also already offended his superiors in Munich.
For example, when he went public with his wishes for new recruits in the summer.
A discussion followed at the beginning of September.
Bayern bosses appear calm
The leadership takes Tuchel's recent statements about Spain calmly.
“Oh, you shouldn't be so excited about it.
A trainer's job is generally never linked to a pension contract," says CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen (56) to the
tz
and adds: "I'm more surprised at what has sometimes been made of it.
That's going too far.
Thomas works for us with great passion and intensity.
He wants to achieve something with us - and we want to achieve something with him.”

Hamann finally settles accounts with Bayern coach Tuchel: read “an impudence”.
Hamann still believes that the coach in Munich will soon be out: “Tuchel and Bayern Munich is the biggest misunderstanding since Klinsmann.
It doesn't add up - and he now knows that too.” This and the statement about Xavi have Bayern shaking their heads.
“We will no longer accept such unobjective statements directed against our coach, which always come from the same place,” Dreesen and sports director Christoph Freund were quoted as saying on the club’s homepage.
