• After Bayern’s defeat at Lazio Rome, the pressure on coach Tuchel is enormous.

• The Bayern stars seem perplexed following the embarrassment.

• Expert Hamann believes the Lazio game was a final.

• Bayern fans are raging on the internet.

Mood of crisis on Säbener Strasse. For the first time since 2019, Bayern Munich has lost two competitive games in a row and for the first time since the 0-1 defeat once morest FC Basel in 2012, a first leg in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

Ciro Immobile, of all people, ensures that the pressure on Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel is increasing with his penalty goal. The Italian was once in Tuchel’s squad at Dortmund and, following his departure, was annoyed that his coach forbade him to use the translator. Now the Immobile goal might potentially cost Tuchel his job.

Hamann criticizes Tuchel

“Bayern is on the ground. They can be happy that they only go home 1-0,” explains expert Didi Hamann at blue following the Bayern fiasco in Rome. The 50-year-old had defended Tuchel following the defeat once morest Leverkusen, but no longer.

“That was the final for Thomas Tuchel. Now the Bayern management has to think regarding whether they want to play the next game with him,” says Hamann, who a few weeks ago on Sky described Tuchel as “the biggest misunderstanding since Jürgen Klinsmann.”

Already tenth bankruptcy for Tuchel as Bayern coach

Tuchel himself appeared to be served by Dazn following the bankruptcy in the premier class and stated that he was “frustrated” and “angry”. “We completely lost track in the second half,” said the 50-year-old, who suffered his tenth defeat in his 43rd competitive game as Bayern coach. For comparison: predecessor Julian Nagelsmann had lost that many times in 84 games. But Tuchel is not afraid for his job. “I’m not worried regarding my future or a possible expulsion,” said the Munich coach.

“We stay together and will give everything in all competitions until the last second, and the opponents have to be prepared for that. And then we’ll see what we get,” said Thomas Müller, who continued to be optimistic. The Bayern veteran returned to the starting line-up once morest Lazio, but mightn’t prevent the defeat.

Fans are raging online

The German industry leader will play the next game away in Bochum on Sunday. “It is quite possible that Tuchel will no longer be Bayern coach at the weekend,” says expert Hamann, who with a lot of irony “congratulated Bayern on scoring a goal in 180 minutes of football.”

Many Bayern supporters also called for a castling of the coaching position on the Internet. «Tuchel out. IMMEDIATELY! As FC Bayern Munich you can’t lose two games like that. And then in this way,” said one user on X. Another said he would no longer extend his season ticket. “I’m becoming a fan of Saarbrücken because they actually know how to run a club,” said the angry supporter.
