There are defeats that leave more scars than others. Hit by Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 in the 21st shock of the Bundesliga day on Saturday, Bayern Munich let their rival take a 5-point lead at the top of the championship. For the first time since 2013 and the start of his unchallenged reign, the rekordmeister sees his hegemony being challenged. Worse than that, if proof were still needed, he is no longer the favorite for his own succession. Everything points to Thomas Tuchel as the ideal culprit.
Successor to Julian Naglesmann for almost a year, the former PSG coach is now under threat. He begins to be heckled by some of the Bavarian supporters. A “Tuchel out” banner was found at the training center in recent hours. Its management feels obliged to defend itself in front of the press. On top of that, his locker room is divided, while the German technician has always been quite an expert in cuddle therapy.
Flick is attentive to what is happening at Bayern
The Matthijs de Ligt case upsets a lot of people internally. The Dutch defender is frustrated by his meager playing time and his substitute status. So many grievances to blame on Thomas Tuchel, which certain Bayern legends and television consultants do not hesitate to highlight, when they are not both at the same time. For the first time since his arrival at the club, there is talk of his future with already a name to replace him.
According to Sports Bild, Bayern leaders are considering a return of Hans-Dieter Flick. Free since his failure at the head of the German selection, the one who was stationed in Bavaria between 2019 and 2021, with the highlight of the victory in C1 in 2020 against PSG… of Tuchel, is courted by FC Barcelona. He also watches what is happening 40 kilometers from his home on the banks of Lake Tegernsee. Bild tells us that he is even in regular contact with Uli HoeneĂź and that a return is being considered by many people.
