If FC Bayern loses the quarter-final first leg in the Champions League, there could still be an early change of coach.
Munich – FC Bayern is heading towards a catastrophe. Championship almost gone, DFB Cup too. So what happens to coach Thomas Tuchel if the Munich team delivers a similar performance against Arsenal London in the Champions League quarter-finals on Tuesday as they did against Heidenheim? As the
AZ
reports, there could still be a short-term change of coach.
Will Klose become an emergency solution at FC Bayern?
Specifically, according to the paper, FC Bayern is working on a short-term takeover of Miroslav Klose. The former Bayern player and 2014 world champion would be no stranger; he was one of the assistant coaches of the professionals under coach Hansi Flick. According to
AZ
, Hermann Gerland would
apparently act as an assistant coach in this scenario. However, this is an “emergency thought game in the event of a total disaster”.
Ex-Bayern player Lothar Matthäus had already suggested the “Tiger” as an interim solution until the summer. For Matthäus, the 69-year-old would be “an ideal choice for this short period of time when things are no longer right in the team,” he said on Sunday (April 7th) on the
Sky90
sports talk show . Gerland is a guy who can change the mood. And that is crucial. Because a good atmosphere and therefore also cohesion is what Matthew defines as “important”.

There is obviously a big gap between the FC Bayern team and coach Tuchel
The good mood at FC Bayern seems to be gone, the gap between the team and coach Tuchel is apparently getting bigger and bigger. “Thomas put everything in this meeting room. The speeches were very emotional. And if you get that back, then it’s definitely not what Thomas deserves,” said sports director Max Eberl after the bitter 2-3 defeat against FC Heidenheim.
If the team shows no reaction against FC Arsenal and also loses the game against 1. FC Köln in the league on Saturday, those responsible at FC Bayern would have to think again. But at least until then, Tuchel has some kind of job guarantee. “That's not football, throwing the coach out before Tuesday. That's not the way. It's not always just a coaching problem. He’s definitely leaving in the next few weeks,” said Eberl. The main goal now is to reach the Champions League.
