Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern at the end of the season

The German coach Thomas Tuchel will not continue on the FC Bayern bench next season after having reached an agreement with the club to leave the entity after the poor results that the team has achieved in recent weeks and which have kept it away from the title. in the Bundesliga.

Various media describe the conversations between Tuchel and the Bayern leadership as open and positive, a euphemism to explain that the two parties came to the conclusion that it was best not to continue the relationship.

Tuchel arrived at Bayern in the second half of last season to relieve the dismissed Julian Nagelsmann, after the Bavarian club lost the lead to Borussia Dortmund, who had deducted twelve points.

Although in the end Tuchel managed to make Bayern champion of the Bundesliga, due to a setback by Dortmund on the last day, the team's performance was far from convincing during the time he was on the bench. In addition, there seemed to be communication problems between him and some of the heavyweights in the locker room.

Relations with the leadership have also been problematic, as Tuchel has frequently been complaining about some decisions in the transfer market and demanding players he has not obtained.

This season, Bayern began by losing the German Super Cup against Leipzig, was soon eliminated from the German Cup and is eight points behind the leader, Bayer Leverkusen, in the Bundesliga.

The last week, with three consecutive defeats - against Leverkusen and Bochum in the Bundesliga and against Lazio in the Champions League - has precipitated the decision.
