Actually, there is still the lowest goal, to win the Bundesliga. For now Bayern are two points ahead of Borussia Dortmund. That is, the tournament is not sentenced but Bayern depends on itself.

But in four games in charge of Tuchel at Bayernhas seen how the possibility of playing for two titles has disappeared, with the German Cup out of Freiburg’s hands and the Champions League out of City’s hands.

In the Bundesliga he managed to turn the tide –with Nagelsmann Bayern he let Dortmund take a ten-point advantage away from him and he lost the lead – and that is important, but his arrival at the club probably has more to do with a bet on the future than the possibility of him solving immediately. poverty

In fact, in Germany it is taken for granted if Tuchel is unavailable or he would not accept the position that Nagelsmann remained on the bench at least until the end of the season.

He little time Tuchel has Leading the team relieves you of part of the responsibility for certain results. But the management, especially Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, are in a difficult situation.

They bet on time for nagelsmann. He was given a five-year contract as if to show that he was betting on the future.

Less than two seasons later, they believed they had made a mistake. And they chose an emphatic decision and another bet that was forced forward Tuchel to take on a kamikaze mission, with a team in a situation of insecurity due to the latest results and without time to give it his personal stamp.

The mission of Tuchel was to change the team at the end of a season that was probably the most successful in Bayern’s history.

Hat hat tricks with Heynckes and Hansi Flick

Since 2009, when he arrived louis van gaal on the bench, Bayern played in four Champions League finals and won two. Since 2013, when he won the treble with Jupp Heynckes, has won the Bundesliga back-to-back, always comfortably. In 2020 he repeated the triplet with flip. The current situation is new for Bayern with Dortmund hot on their heels.

After the triple when Pep Guardiola arrived at Bayern, Karlheinz Rummenigge He said that the obligation is to win the Bundesliga. Other titles may be lost due to circumstantial issues. It was a way to reduce the pressure but he made it clear that it was an obligation.

Later, the coaches who seemed to struggle to follow it –Carlo Ancelotti, Niko Kovac and finally Nagelsmann– was relieved in the middle of the season.

Now Tuchel has that obligation although all indications are that, even if he fails in the attempt, the top management will tolerate him this time as they allowed Heynckes’ title-less season in 2011/2012 to draw important conclusions that bore fruit within a decade. Next season, on the other hand, Tuchel has no margin for error.
