Bayern Munich: Tuchel to depart at end of season

Departing boss says he is not only problem at Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel will leave the club at the end of the season.

The German coach, who took over at the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2016, has won the Bundesliga title twice and the DFB-Pokal once during his time in charge.

However, Bayern have struggled for consistency this season, and Tuchel has come under increasing pressure in recent weeks following a number of poor results.

Speaking after Bayern's 3-1 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday, Tuchel said that he would not be staying at the club beyond the end of the season.

"I am not the only problem at Bayern Munich," Tuchel said. "There are other problems at the club that need to be addressed."

Tuchel's departure will come as a blow to Bayern, who are currently fourth in the Bundesliga table, 10 points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund.

The club are also facing a tough Champions League tie against Real Madrid in the semi-finals.

Bayern will now have to start the search for a new manager, with Julian Nagelsmann of RB Leipzig and Erik ten Hag of Ajax among the favorites to replace Tuchel.

Conclusion

Tuchel's departure is a significant moment for Bayern Munich, and it will be interesting to see how the club performs under a new manager.

The German giants have been one of the most dominant forces in European football in recent years, but they have struggled for consistency this season.

Tuchel's departure could be the catalyst for a change in fortunes at Bayern, but it will be up to the new manager to get the club back on track.
