This announcement also said that Bayern Munich and coach Tuchel “agreed” to come to this decision. Thus, coach Tuchel has avoided the dismissal that was predicted by experts after recent consecutive failures.This decision by Bayern’s board of directors is to reassure players who are dissatisfied with coach Tuchel. 

German media said that Bayern Munich players no longer seem to listen to coach Tuchel, and many stars even openly oppose it.

The problem is how Bayern Munich players will play after this decision. Do they “really play” knowing that coach Tuchel will no longer have a future at Bayern or continue to oppose for this strategist to leave the team as soon as possible.

Immediately after Bayern Munich announced their farewell to coach Tuchel at the end of the season, the German press said that the “gray tiger” leadership was targeting three replacement candidates. They are Xabi Alonso – current coach of Leverkusen, former Man United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, former Juventus coach Antonio Conte.

Of the three candidates mentioned above, Xabi Alonso is expected to come to Liverpool to replace Jurgen Klopp. Most likely, he will not be able to sit in the hоt seat at the Allianz Arena. Two coaches, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Antonio Conte, may be ready to replace coach Tuchel because they are unemployed.

Coach Tuchel (50 years old) once led Mainz 05, Dortmund, PSG, and Chelsea. He finished second in the Champions League with PSG in 2019-2020, and then won the championship with Chelsea in the 2020-2021 season. In addition, Coach Tuchel also won the French Championship (Ligue 1) twice and won the German Championship (Bundesliga) once.
