EXCL: How failed signing has hurt Bayern, latest on Tuchel's future, plus clarification on Man City & Newcastle stars being linked with exits

Bayern sticking with Thomas Tuchel for now

It’s been a difficult season at Bayern, and particularly in the last few days as they suffered a third defeat in a row last night, losing 3-2 against Bochum.

Still, at the moment, Bayern’s position is clear: they plan to continue with Thomas Tuchel as manager. Let’s see how the conversations will continue, but this is the tendency at the club following internal talks.

In my opinion there are multiple problems for Bayern this season, not only the manager. For instance, a new midfielder signing was needed in January - Joao Palhinha from Fulham would have been perfect and then they did not sign another player in that position.
