They had a great coach in Hansi Flick. Blame Hasan Salihamidzic and Uli Hoeness for the start of this mess. It all started there. I say Thomas Muller for manager.

[@mickzed6393]

Flick always wanted to manage die manshaft and the opportunity arrived. Simple as that. The other stuff is hear say and would have been worked out if so.

[@tredaviousbowser7931]

Forgot about Kahn

[@ac14cmpunk25]

Flick was terrible for Germany

[@wokeaf1337]

Thomas Muller won everything, doesnt need the money and is to smart to do it.

[@adjuru6585]

I don't understand where the perception of Hansi Flick being a great coach still comes from. He failed as a coach and in an executive role at Hoffenheim. He failed dramatically as a coach of the german national team. His success at Bayern after in the COVID-19 season relied on an unsustainable playstyle of an extreme press paired with a risky high defensive line. This worked for around three quarters of a year when Bayern came out of the covid break as an injury-free, peak conditioned physical bully that just overpowered everyone that season. But it already got exposed in the second season. Press intensity dropped dramatically, the high defensive line got exposed on a regular basis, injuries started to happen. Flick has never been a great coach under normal circumstances at club level that provided a sustainble level of play. And as soon as failure and pressure are rising he loses control in a leading role (see the Amazon series of the german national team). In my opinion he's great at two things: Firstly, creating a special team chemistry when he has a talented group. Secondly preparing a team to peak for knock-out/tournament-like short termed competitions. Like he did as an assistant coach at Germany or in Bayern's incredible run after the covid break. But he's not a great long-term coach, not good at handling pressure from the media and managing during rough times of failure. Add his tactical deficits (especially defensively) and his one-dimensionality/unability to adjust.

[@Fschalke1]

I fully agree. Considering him saying he will be never ever going to another english club other then Liverpool, but Bayern thinks they can get him after 7 years of Dortmund. They are so delusional, let alone thinking they can get him to skip his break...

Things are not as bad as it might seem.

[@subtropicalken1362]

Coaches aside Bayern needs to find a new fitness coach(es). Too many players are coming up injured. Yes some are getting older but Mueller seems to keep himself fit. When the one the treble, they were rock solid. So yes maybe Flick would be a good fit again.

[@chaos-fk6fs]

im a bayern supporter but we are in shambles right now not just on the pitch but more so at the management level, its the biggest change in modern times for the club and we still think we get klopp or xabi alonso in the year after the next year (but probably wont happen) so bayern has to figure themselves out before going for the next big name manager. we had 7 different managers in the last 8 years thats horrible for such a big club.

If you are down to your 6th or 7th choice, you might as well give Tuchel a longer contract.

No because his style of play is not the way Bayern are use to playing. He would have been fine with staying for a year, but not a multi year contract, which is what he wants. Especially when in 2025 Klopp and Alonso will be available.

[@amirmohamad2270]

@@blowandchill3848 So Tuchel doesn't play their style, but their 7th or 8th guy on their manager list does? I think Tuchel just asked for the kind of contract that he knew he wasn't going to get. He really wanted to, he could have stayed.

[@Fschalke1]

@@blowandchill3848 they asked Rangnik before Tuchel.... as if the way of play was the only deciding factor in this manager search. By now they asked Coaches with 4-5 compeltly different playing styles. Klopp is out off reach anyways, after him stating he will never go to another english club then liverpool, he will not go to bayern after 7 years of dortmund. And thinking they will get alonso is also a little delusional if real madrid is going to need a new manager soon.

[@TheBhattacharya]

BAYERN has become a GREATER CIRCUS THAN "B"ANCHESTER UTD

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

Many people will disagree with me on this, but Thomas Tuchel isn’t an elite manager. In the last 5 seasons, he’s been to the champions league semifinals with 3 different clubs which is insane. In 2020, he took PSG to their first ever UCL final, 2021, Chelsea won the UCL 4 months after his arrival and even this year with the weakest Bayern Munich team ever, he took them to the champions league final where they almost beat Real Madrid. He has been the master of knockout football in recent years. Nobody is denying his coaching abilities but if Tuchel is an elite manager, why does he keep losing jobs whenever he’s gone, what’s going on with him. It raises questions on whether or not he’s an elite manager his inability to have longevity at a club because after he does well the honeymoon period is over when things aren’t going his way he clashes with the board and his players. He’s more of a manger who’s the solution to a team’s problems in the short term rather than a long term one. At PSG, after he finally took them to the Champions League, months later he got sacked as they believed that he wasn’t the right manager to get them all the way in the Champions League. After that he went on to win the Champions League with Chelsea and after things started so well for him, a year later he was sacked after spending so much money in that summer transfer window as he didn’t see eye to eye with Todd Boehly. It just never worked out for him at Bayern Munich as he was out of his depth there it didn’t click at all even though they got to a champions league semifinal and once again he lost another job. He was the right manager for Chelsea, but so out of his depth at Bayern Munich. A lot of people think that he’s Manchester United’s next manager after they sack Erik ten Hag at the end of the season and I could see him going there. Some see him as their savior as they have to hire him this summer, but if you’re Manchester United, again Tuchel is just a short term solution for you given his track record at other clubs. Whether it’s at Chelsea or Manchester United I hope he gets his stock up again because Thomas Tuchel is too good of a manager to consistently be losing jobs everywhere he goes.

[@thebiasedreview5432]

In a nutshell I think it's a combination of incompetent owners and Tuchel himself. I mean with PSG we all know, the owners are ridiculous. Enrique won't last in my opinion. With Chelsea, I mean Boehly was an absolute idiot to get rid of him. He would have been perfect at Chelsea. With Bayern, they were idiots to sack Nagelsmann and bring Tuchel, only to realize that their team isn't good enough and they need to spend more and reform their team. Tuchel is a very good coach, not Top 5 but a coach who can win you trophies. I'd definitely rate him over Poch, Ten Hag, Xavi, Pioli, Allegri etc.

[@haquyen219]

The crazy spending at Chelsea was not his choice, it's the owner's fault .

[@Fschalke1]

Todd boehly aked Tuchel to play with a formation with 12 players and bought players without informing Tuchel, Tuchel was not the problem at chelsea

[@sainaresh6830]

[@tobaepebinuade5830]

In my opinion, Thomas Tuchel has been so out of his depth at Bayern Munich and for both parties it’s great that he’s leaving at the end of the season. He walked into a chaotic mess that he didn’t create. In the 2022-23 season, Bayern Munich made a decision that shocked the footballing world which was sacking Julian Nagelsmann. When he was sacked, it was during a period where they were competing for 3 trophies and while the team was very inconsistent, getting rid of him was a desperation move because you wanted to win trophies and at the time Tuchel was available and you didn’t want to miss out on him again. This was the start of Bayern Munich’s decline and they’ve not recovered from this. A lot of people will bring up the fact that as terrible as they were, they won the Bundesliga when the reality is that they wouldn’t have won the league if Borussia Dortmund didn’t produce one of the biggest choke jobs I’ve ever seen how many times do I have to say that. There were already signs of chaos and an instability at this football club even last season. Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten run and the potential of them winning the treble it hasn’t helped, but Bayern Munich under Tuchel are much worse than they were under Nagelsmann. For the first time in 12 years, Bayern Munich finished a season without a trophy and for a club of their size it’s unacceptable their dominance in the Bundesliga finally ended and while Real Madrid are inevitable in the champions league, Tuchel is at fault for why they lost that game after being up by a goal. There was never a feeling that he was the right manager for this team and while Bayern Munich tried to convince him to stay, it’s in their best interest that he leaves the club and find a way to regain his managerial stock somewhere else whether it’s back at Chelsea or even at Manchester United. Bayern Munich now find themselves in a managerial limbo with them get to find a new manager and hopefully it does much better than Tuchel.

[@Kevinluo680]

Tuchel had no choice in the subsitutions he made in the real game with both gnabry and kane being injured. If it had been another coach like flick, we would be having an even worse season than the rebuild that tuchel has put in place. the board needs to give tuchel more time especially since nobody even remotely close to his tactical prowess wants the bayern job.
