FC Bayern wants to save itself with Thomas Tuchel until the end of the season.
According to his own statements, the coach could be released early.
Munich – FC Bayern actually made things clear before the Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig.
The season should come to a conciliatory end with coach Thomas Tuchel, preferably with titles.
Bayern and Tuchel will part ways in the summer.
Will there possibly be a layoff beforehand?
Tuchel dismissal?
Bayern coach unsure
“I don’t know what the future holds,” said Thomas Tuchel in an interview with Sky before the Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig on Saturday.
The 50-year-old is unsure whether he can actually finish the season as FC Bayern coach after further negative experiences.
“On Wednesday we jointly issued a report that left little clarity.
Now not a minute has been played and they are talking about the next negative scenario,” said Tuchel, annoyed when asked about his future.
“We were hoping to avoid all the further speculation surrounding each scenario.
We didn't succeed because we were faced with the next scenario right before the first minute of the game."

FC Bayern could sack Thomas Tuchel before the Champions League duel against Lazio
This scenario would probably be to relieve Tuchel of his duties before the second leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League against Lazio.
An unsatisfactory result against Leipzig or next Friday in Freiburg could trigger a rethink among the FCB bosses, who might then see their goals for the season finally in jeopardy.
In the DFB Cup, Bayern were already eliminated in the second round against Saarbrücken, and in the Bundesliga they are a whopping eleven points behind league leaders Leverkusen before the game against Leipzig.
“Until then, every individual in the club is expressly challenged to achieve the maximum possible in the Champions League and the Bundesliga,” CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen initially reported on Wednesday about the end of the collaboration with Tuchel.
“I also explicitly hold the team responsible for this.
Especially in the Champions League, we are convinced that after the 0-1 defeat in the first leg at Lazio Rome, we will move into the quarter-finals in the second leg in our fully occupied Allianz Arena with our fans behind us." Meanwhile, top coaches are already being employed at FC Bayern Tuchel's successor traded.

Bayern coach doesn't know - Matthäus adds
Lothar Matthäus is almost certain that FC Bayern will pull the ripcord prematurely if the results fail to materialize in the short term.
If the next two games also go wrong after three defeats in a row, “it could be that Thomas Tuchel won’t be on the bench against Lazio.
Then he’s not the one who can motivate the team.”
“They say until the end of the season, but the results have to be right, otherwise in my opinion it will end early,” explained Matthäus.
“If the team doesn’t perform in the next two games, why should they perform against Lazio?
That’s why I think Thomas Tuchel is still under pressure.”
Tuchel does not see himself as the main culprit for Bayern's misery
The coach is now certain that the negative series is not entirely due to him.
At the press conference on Friday, Tuchel spoke about his exit from Bayern: "I'm not the only problem."
On Saturday he followed up and said when asked whether his clarified future would have a liberating effect on the team: “I would be a little surprised.
I don’t feel like I’m the burden.”
