Thomas Tuchel: Bayern Munich dressing room easier to manage than PSG's

Bayern Munich boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed that the Bundesliga giants don't have as many challenges in the dressing room as Paris Saint-Germain.

The German tactician spent two and a half seasons at PSG, where he was in charge for 127 games, and signed for Die Roten after a short spell at Chelsea.

Some of the Bayern players have recently been criticised for their off-field behaviour, but Tuchel insists his man-management was pushed much harder during his time at Parc des Princes.

"Here at Bayern, when I hear that a certain player’s behavior is unacceptable, I laugh because I think: ‘You have no idea what we had to deal with in Paris!’ and I calm down," Tuchel said.

"In Paris, the group is always willing to play for a superstar to score goals, no problem. The problem is when that superstar doesn’t give anything back to the rest of the group or doesn’t show any respect!"

Bayern are currently at the top of the Bundesliga standings, level on points with second-placed Borussia Dortmund.

Their next fixture is at home against relegation-threatened Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon.
