Due to the fact that FC Bayern has been unable to find a suitable successor for Thomas Tuchel for weeks, it seems that the Säbener Straße is pondering whether they should actually part ways with the 50-year-old in the summer. Tuchel himself is still not ruling out staying with the German record champions and is waiting for a signal from the Bayern bosses.
The search for a coach at FC Bayern is entering the next round and could take an unexpected turn. As reported by BILD, FCB are not ruling out the possibility of continuing to work with Thomas Tuchel beyond the current season.
In line with this, Sky reports that several leading players (including Manuel Neuer and Thomas Müller) have spoken out in favour of the 50-year-old remaining at the club: „The tenor from the dressing room: ‚It wasn’t always good, but we’ve learned a lot from Tuchel and his coaching team Tuchel’s co-coaches Zsolt Löw, Arno Michels and especially Anthony Barry are also very popular with the majority,“ emphasised Bayern insider Kerry Hau on Transfer Update – die Show on Monday.
Are the Bayern bosses jumping over their shadows?
According to Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg, nothing has changed in Tuchel’s attitude. He can still imagine staying at the Isar, even though he has recently been publicly attacked by club patron Uli Hoeneß. According to this, the 50-year-old is „open to talks“. However, the first signal in this regard must come from the management team.

According to reports, sporting director Max Eberl and sporting director Christoph Freund in particular can imagine continuing to work with Tuchel. Eberl recently emphasised that the Tuchel separation „was decided before his time“.
But one thing is clear: without the go-ahead from Hoeneß, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, Herbert Hainer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, it will not be possible for Tuchel to stay. It will be exciting to see whether the Bayern bosses are prepared to jump over their shadows.
