FC Bayern: Coach Thomas Tuchel does not appear on the PK in Bochum
The current situation will be completely different in February 2024. In the DFB Cup, Bayern failed embarrassingly in the second round against third division team 1. FC Saarbrücken (1:2), and in the premier class the Munich team had to lose 0:1 (0-0) at Lazio Rome are already worried about the quarter-finals.
And in the Bundesliga, after the 2:3 (1:2) win at VfL Bochum, they are now a full eight points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen.
Striking: In Bochum, coach Thomas Tuchel was missing from the press conference after the end of the game.
An indication that after three defeats in a row, things could soon part ways?

FC Bayern canceled PK in Bochum - Tuchel improvised in the stadium
On Sunday evening (February 18th), the Munich team provided a reason for the 50-year-old coach's absence from the mandatory PK.
The club itself had canceled participation in the press conference.
Because: The people of Munich had to get to the airport very quickly for the return flight to the Free State.
Instead, Tuchel held a media roundtable with the journalists present in the stadium catacombs.
Bayern coach Tuchel had already commented on DAZN: “I don’t think today’s defeat was fair.
I think a lot went against us today.
I think we have an xG value of 3.4 and we have four, five, six top-class chances.
We completely dominated the game and actually fell behind out of nowhere.
We never stopped putting in the effort until the end.
We then played outnumbered for a long time.
A lot went against us today.
I feel the defeat today is different than the last two.”

We have to concentrate on the next games.”
