After the embarrassment in Heidenheim, Arsenal are facing the Champions League quarter-finals. FC Bayern only has three days to recover. Hard to imagine after this performance. Lothar Matthäus believes that Munich will pull the ripcord in the coming days.
FC Bayern, which is in serious trouble, has embarrassed itself enormously and also messed up the dress rehearsal for the Champions League hit at Arsenal. The Munich team gave up a 2-0 lead against newly promoted 1. FC Heidenheim and lost 2-3 (2-0). The gap to leaders Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga grew to 16 points, and the championship could be decided as early as next weekend.
Above all, the defeat was another major dampener for Bayern before the quarter-final first leg of the premier class in London on Tuesday. Despite the embarrassing performance, Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund offered a job guarantee for coach Thomas Tuchel after the defeat: “Thomas Tuchel will stay on the coaching bench until the end of the season.” After just 15 months, Tuchel will be over again at Bayern.

If you believe Lothar Matthäus and Dietmar Hamann, it could happen much faster. “The result says a lot. Thomas Tuchel can no longer reach the team! There are strange press conferences, strange statements. There are strange criticisms from him. That’s why I could imagine that Bayern will react in the next 24 to 48 hours,” said the record national player on Sky.
“The question is how long the club will continue to look at this.”
TV expert Dietmar Hamann agreed with Matthäus. “Bayern have been playing the same uninspired football under Tuchel for twelve months. Dortmund did Bayern a favor by winning in Munich. “Bayern would have had ten days to prepare for the Arsenal game under a new coach,” said Hammann. But the Munich team stuck with Tuchel.

“Bayern made the wrong decision weeks ago. And last week too. The question is how long the club will continue to look at this. The club also has a responsibility towards its members and fans,” said Hamann. The fans wouldn’t even whistle and complain anymore: “They haven’t been used to anything else in the last twelve months. Those were signs of disintegration today.”
