HITC understands that Bayern Munich are assessing options their options as they consider replacing Thomas Tuchel this season.

Tuchel’s struggles have seen Bayern already decide internally that a change would almost certainly be made at the end of the season, but such is the current slump – the Bundesliga giants are now considering a change in the near future.

An embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend, now sees them some five points adrift of their title rivals. And they then followed that up with a shock 1-0 loss to Lazio on Wednesday and HITC sources confirm that the club’s hierarchy are not happy at all.

Poor record continues

Indeed the loss to Lazio means that in his 43 games in charge of the club, Bayern have lost 10 games which is the same number as previous boss Julian Nagelsmann suffered in 84 games.

HITC understands that sporting director Christoph Freund is the man tasked with looking at the options and it is understood the two names they are looking at are former boss Hansi Flick – currently in charge of Germany, and Jose Mourinho – who, as HITC revealed earlier this month, is ready and willing to come in.

After the Lazio defea, Freund told Sky Sports DE: “Of course he’s struggling with the situation, which is very difficult for all of us. Our goal is to fight our way out of this together. We’re all in the same boat.”

‘Not worried’

Tuchel himself was asked about his future but he insisted he is not concerned about the prospect that he could be replayed.

“No, I’m not worried about my future or the potential sack,” he told Sky Sports DE.

“We did everything to lose this match… it was in our hands. At a certain point we stopped believing, I’ve no idea why. There were many individual mistakes.”
