It had been agreed earlier on between the coach and the Bayern board that all contract will be cancelled at the end of the season and this propelled the Bayern hierarchy to delve in the market for a new coach.
A massive search for the coach they never founded, interest in Xabi Alonso, Roberto De Zerbi, Ralf Rangnick and Erik ten Hag all proved futile as all the coaches still had interest in their respective jobs.
Bayern had managed to surrender the Bundesliga to Bayern Leverkusen and were comprehensively beaten by them prompting Thomas Muller to declare interest in their style of play and then there was the Champions League which the coach had managed to reach the semis only to defeated by a resilient Real Madrid who will give their very soul to win a competition they won 14 times.
Perhaps the Bayern board saw through all this and according to reports have a made a massive change of mind to keep the coach.
The club’s willingness to engage in discussions to retain Tuchel underscores his importance within the organisation. He reportedly has the backing of key administrative figures like Max Eberl and Christoph Freund while several senior voices in the dressing room like Manuel Neuer, Thomas Muller, Harry Kane, and Leroy Sane have also put their weight behind the former Chelsea manager.
The coach’s entourage is seeking an extension that would prolong his tenure until at least 2026. Despite this obstacle, there is renewed optimism that an agreement can be reached soon.
