Bayern Munich’s loss to Lazio with a score of 0-1 on February 15 in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League made the future of coach Thomas Tuchel extremely uncertain. Meanwhile, striker Harry Kane expressed disappointment.

“No, I’m not worried about my future or the possibility of being fired. We did everything, but still lost this match. The opportunity is still in our hands. At some point, we I don’t believe in that anymore, I don’t know why. There are a lot of personal errors,” coach Thomas Tuchel expressed after the match, and answered a question about his future.

Bayern Munich had a very poor match against Lazio, as they failed to make a single shot on target the entire match. This followed the loss to Bayer Leverkusen with a score of 0-3 on February 11 when they only had 1 shot. The loss to Lazio was also the first time in 11 years that Bayern Munich lost the first leg in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich’s only goal came from midfielder Dayot Upamecano’s mistake when he fouled Gustav Isaksen (Lazio) in the penalty area. This situation also caused the French player to receive a red card and leave the field and the Bavarian “Gray Tigers” had to play with 10 people in the last 20 minutes of the match. From the 11 meter mark, Ciro Immobile scored the only goal to help Lazio win 1-0 and gain an advantage before the away leg on March 6.

According to the German press, the possibility that coach Thomas Tuchel will still be in position when Bayern Munich plays the second leg against Lazio will be difficult to predict. This club’s leadership may consider alternative solutions and coach Mourinho will be a bright candidate to replace him.

BILD newspaper (Germany) also recently revealed that coach Mourinho has learned German and is ready to replace coach Thomas Tuchel if there is an offer.

Bayern Munich Club also issued a statement criticizing fans who criticized player Dayot Upamecano: “We condemn all the horribly racist messages and comments against Dayot Upamecano. Who writes such things? not a true Bayern fan. We’re with you, Upa!”

Meanwhile, striker Harry Kane was extremely disappointed. He came to Bayern Munich with the ambition of winning championships, but after the sublime first half of the season, from the beginning of 2024 until now everything has been difficult for the English striker.

“It’s been a difficult week… The second half was disappointing. We came out with little energy and little confidence. If we don’t improve, in a few weeks we will have a difficult time against Lazio. We I have to look forward and try to maintain my motivation,” Harry Kane shared on TNT Sports.
