At Bayern Munich, the opinion of club veterans is often decisive. On the evening of the announcement of Thomas Tuchel’s departure at the end of the season, Lothar Matthäus (62 years old) wanted to react in the columns of Bild. The former Bavarian legend is delighted with this choice: “It’s a sensible decision for both of us. This is probably the most sensible conversation that has ever taken place between the two parties. There are no more excuses. Both parties have to live with this decision and no one loses face. »
The man who is the record holder for the number of selections for the Mannschaft (150 selections) also mentions a possible departure even earlier: “an early or premature separation cannot be ruled out given the current situation. We hope for a positive effect. If that doesn’t happen, you can always break up immediately. The team is now responsible. » On the succession of Thomas Tuchel, Lothar Matthäus has his preference: “It’s normal that we should be interested in Xabi Alonso. If they didn’t take care of him, they would make the next mistake. The task at Munich would be more rewarding than Liverpool’s to become the successor to the revered Jürgen Klopp. »
