Bayern Munich’s sporting director, Hasan Salihamidzic, coach Thomas Tuchel was acquitted Bayern’s exit from the German Cup at the hands of Freiburg in the latter’s second game on the Bavarian bench.
“It’s difficult for everyone but it has nothing to do with the coach. It’s a process. He makes a good impression and does a good job.” Salihamidzic said after the KO in the Cup, his first setback.
