Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer backs underfire coach Thomas Tuchel
In the midst of a turbulent period for Bayern Munich, club president Herbert Hainer has reaffirmed his support for head coach Thomas Tuchel.
Following consecutive defeats to Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and Lazio in the Champions League, Tuchel has faced mounting criticism. Nonetheless, Hainer remains resolute in his belief that the 50-year-old tactician possesses the acumen to reverse the team's fortunes.
"Thomas Tuchel and his coaching staff are tirelessly dedicated to their work. The team has already demonstrated its capabilities this season," stated Hainer in an interview with TZ.
Acknowledging the team's recent lack of results, Hainer emphasized collective effort towards reigniting their performance on the pitch. He asserted, "We are all actively involved in finding solutions, and I firmly believe in our capacity to do so."
When pressed about his optimism amidst Bayern's struggles, Hainer pointed to the squad's undeniable talent and track record. "Each player has showcased their calibre consistently. Admittedly, we currently grapple with a deficit in confidence and fluidity," admitted Hainer. "However, our determination to reclaim victory is unequivocal."
Bayern's upcoming Bundesliga fixture against Bochum does present an opportunity for redemption. Nonetheless, Sky Germany suggest Tuchel's tenure may face further scrutiny should the team falter, indicating a pivotal juncture for the coach.
As the club brace for the challenge ahead, Hainer's unwavering support underscores Bayern Munich's commitment to weathering adversity under Tuchel's leadership.
