A number of FC Bayern fans are calling for the dismissal of coach Thomas Tuchel on social media.
However, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen strengthens the Munich coach.
Bochum - Does coach Thomas Tuchel still have a future at FC Bayern?
A number of fans again called for his dismissal on social networks.
When asked whether the club would go into the coming week with the 50-year-old coach, board boss Jan-Christian Dreesen replied on Sunday evening (February 18th): “Of course.”
FC Bayern: CEO probably wants to continue with coach Thomas Tuchel
The Munich team had previously lost 2:3 (1:2) at VfL Bochum, it was the third defeat for the German record champions within eight days and the eleventh defeat for Tuchel in 44 competitive games as Bayern head coach.
The gap to Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen (58 points) is now eight points after 22 match days.
Nevertheless, Dreesen confirmed in the catacombs of the Bochum stadium that he wanted to continue to stick with the current Munich coach (for the time being).
“This is not an issue that we are currently dealing with,” he said about a possible dismissal of the coach after the recent negative run.

Bayern coach should probably get another chance
But he also avoided a clear commitment to Tuchel with a view to the future.
“I don’t believe in these monstrous statements of coaching support,” said Dreesen: “It’s not a question that arises for us today.
We have to concentrate on the next games.”
Dayot Upamecano, Matthijs de Ligt, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting - several Munich players delivered a very poor performance in the Ruhr area.
Takuma Asano (38th minute), Keven Schlotterbeck (44th) and Kevin Stöger (78th/foul penalty) ensured Bochum's victory on Sunday, but the goals from Jamal Musiala (14th) and Harry Kane (87th) were ultimately not enough for a better result for the relegation candidate from West Germany.
The twelfth championship in a row is now a long way off.
To be honest, I feel like shit.
This is the third defeat in a row.

“To be honest, I feel like shit.
This is the third defeat in a row,” said Dreesen in the mixed zone.
“The interruption of the game, these twelve, fourteen minutes, completely threw us off track.
And then the misery began,” explained the 56-year-old CEO of FC Bayern.
He praised: “We really fought today with ten men and could probably have made it 3-3.”

But Dreesen also criticized the team: “We had some great chances, the game could certainly have been turned around.
But in the end you have to say: mentality triumphed over quality today.
That's why Bochum deserved to win." Bayern's nerves are apparently on edge after their recent setbacks.
