FC Bayern is in crisis, Thomas Tuchel is being criticized.
The Munich team has now made a decision: the coach has to go.
Update from February 21st, 10:24 a.m.:
FC Bayern will part ways with Thomas Tuchel in the summer.
This resulted in intensive discussions within the internal circle.
Bild first reported about it,
tz
can confirm this information.
First report from February 20th:
Munich – FC Bayern Munich is a whopping eight points behind Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen after the 22nd matchday.
Naturally, this doesn't meet the demands of Säbener Straße, which is why the trainer is increasingly in focus.
Bayern coach Tuchel probably has at least two more games left
Munich recently lost three games under Thomas Tuchel.
A 0:3 in Leverkusen was followed by a 0:1 in the Champions League at Lazio Rome before a 2:3 defeat at VfL Bochum on Sunday.
Unsurprisingly, the discussions about Tuchel that had been going on before the defeat in the Ruhr region subsequently gained momentum.
After the encounter, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed that the coach would remain in office, but according to a
Sky
report , if the failure continues, a separation could occur before the end of the season.
“We completely lost track in the second half,” said Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel after the defeat in Rome.

FC Bayern: Lots of rumors about possible Tuchel successors
Tuchel is said to have been given a deadline of three games after the Lazio game.
If the negative trend continues after the upcoming meetings with RB Leipzig and SC Freiburg, there could be an early separation.
But this should actually be avoided, as it goes on to say.
Tuchel is apparently not without controversy internally, even if his desire is to end the current season with the 2021 CL winner.
The coach also continues to feel support in the dressing room; most of the team is behind him, especially from a professional perspective.
Nevertheless, there is already plenty of speculation about possible successors.
The preferred candidate should be Leverkusen's successful coach Xabi Alonso, while Zinedine Zidane or Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, most recently under contract with Manchester United, are considered possible interim solutions.
