At a fan meeting, Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel talks about his desire to take office in Spain. Dietmar Hamann is outraged. And the TV expert goes even further in his criticism.
Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel has received a lot of criticism for his statements during a visit to the fan club about a possible foreign commitment in the future. “Then he sits down and talks about Xavi, about the successor and that he would like to train in Barcelona or Spain. That’s an impudence,” said former national player Dietmar Hamann on the talk show “Sky90” on Sunday: “He’s a very intelligent man, something like that doesn’t just slip out of him. Only he has to know one thing: If you are an employee of FC Bayern, taking on the management – that was rarely a good idea.
During a visit to a fan club in Heidenheim, Tuchel spoke generally about a possible coaching position in other European countries and appeared open to it. “Abroad will definitely appeal to me again, in general,” said the former coach of Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea FC. He finds the league in Spain “extraordinary” because it is “characterized by insane self-confidence”. “When you talk to Spanish players, you have the feeling that you talk to people very quickly and there are no empty phrases in between and no invisible wall.”

Bruchhagen agrees with Hamann
Former Bundesliga manager Heribert Bruchhagen also showed little understanding for Tuchel’s statements, which came just one day after coach Xavi Hernández announced that he wanted to quit Spanish top club FC Barcelona at the end of the season. “He also needs to know what the consequences are. I would have expected him to give the answer: “At the moment I’m only concerned with FC Bayern,” said Bruchhagen. The 75-year-old is certain: “Bayern won’t be amused about it.”

Hamann even went one step further, he believes that the coach in Munich will soon be out. “Tuchel and Bayern Munich is the biggest misunderstanding since Jürgen Klinsmann. “It doesn’t add up – and he knows it now,” he said.
