Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel drew attention to the team’s current situation and emphasized that it is not just his problem.
According to the BBC on the 23rd (local time), Coach Tuchel said, “It doesn’t matter if you understand or are satisfied with the club’s decision (to sack),” and added, “I don’t think that it is my problem. only, but I recognize my responsibility. “I’m not satisfied with the way we were playing and have been for a long time,” he said.
Coach Tuchel recently completed his contract with Munich. It was decided to complete the contract signed until the summer of 2025 a year earlier. He will only lead Munich until the end of this season.
The cause is poor performance. Munich is 11 points behind first place Bayer Leverkusen (61 points) with 12 league games remaining. Indeed, it seems that it has become difficult to come from behind to win. Above all, public sentiment towards coach Tuchel worsened as the team recorded three successive defeats in official matches, including the match against Leverkusen, which was the trigger for their recent challenge in the championship.

Above all, as Munich had previously won the Bundesliga for the 11th time in a row, coach Tuchel’s performance seemed even more shabby.
However, Coach Tuchel acknowledged his mistake but said, “Now we’re in a new situation. “The situation was resolved and communication was established, but I don’t think I was the only one who had a problem,” he said, with the hint that the players also had a problem.
Recently the coach Tuchel was the subject of controversy regarding blaming a player when he specifically mentioned the ‘main gun’ Harry Kane. Perhaps because he was aware of the controversy, he remained calm after losing 2-3 to Bochum on the 19th, saying, “I won’t criticize the players.”

It is one of the ‘worst’ actions for a coach who leads a team to blame a player. Coach Jürgen Klinsmann, who recently parted ways with Korean football, publicly blamed the players for the loss. He attributed the cause of his elimination in the semi-finals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup to captains Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), not himself. Coach Klinsmann’s comments left a scar on football fans as both played very well until the semi-finals.
Andreas Herzog, head coach of the Klinsmann Division, also cited Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in as the reasons for the team’s failure to win the championship after the Asia Cup. He became an ugly teacher who turned his arrows on his students.
Coach Tuchel did not mention a specific player, but when pushed into a corner, he left an interview reminiscent of Coach Klinsmann’s comments.
