Former midfielder Dietmar Hamann has confirmed that coach Thomas Tuchel will not continue to lead Bayern Munich after this season, adding to the speculation surrounding Tuchel's future at the club. Hamann expressed his concerns about the treatment of people within the team and raised doubts about whether Tuchel would want to work in such an environment. He suggested that Tuchel's departure from Bayern Munich could happen early, even as early as the following week, but emphasized that it would be a voluntary decision.
Erik Meijer, a renowned commentator for German media, also supported the notion of Tuchel leaving Bayern, stating that he believed Tuchel's departure would occur on Monday.
Tuchel himself had previously acknowledged that he was aware of the impending departures of CEO Oliver Kahn and Technical Director Hasan Salihamidzic. He mentioned that both Kahn and Salihamidzic had played crucial roles in the team's journey and expressed his need to address the matter. Tuchel admitted to learning about the decision the day before, stating that instead of celebrating their recent success as German champions for the 2022/23 season, the team now faced another challenge.
Following the departures of Kahn and Salihamidzic, Bayern Munich is set to undergo a significant reform. Jan-Christian Dreesen will assume the role of CEO, while the appointment of Salihamidzic's successor is expected to be announced soon.
When asked about his own future with Bayern Munich, Tuchel responded with a smile, stating, "Now I think so." This statement hints at the possibility of him continuing to stay at the club, although it leaves room for interpretation.
As the season comes to an end, the uncertainty surrounding Tuchel's future at Bayern Munich continues to captivate the football world, with fans and pundits eagerly waiting for further developments and announcements regarding the club's coaching staff.
