Bundesliga: Bayern Munich CEO confirms club will stick with Thomas Tuchel as manager after Bayern Leverkusen defeat

India Today  

Despite Bayern Munich's defeat against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, February 10, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has made it clear that the club's plan is to stick with Thomas Tuchel as manager. The potential Bundesliga title-decider between the two sides concluded with Xabi Alonso's team consolidating their lead at the top of the table with a resounding 3-0 victory over Thomas Tuchel’s Bayern Munich. On the other hand, the defeat for Bayern has added to the already rising speculation surrounding their German manager, Thomas Tuchel, whose job is looking increasingly risky with every game. Having been ousted from the German Cup earlier this season and with their grip on the league title loosening, Bayern's fans and pundits are already engaged in discussions about the ideal successor for the 50-year-old manager at the club.
