Thomas Tuchel’s position as coach of Bayern Munich is said to be under threat after Die Roten – Bayern Munich’s nickname – fell 0-1 to Lazio in the first leg of the last 16 of the 2023-2024 Champions League. Responding to this, interestingly, Tuchel is not worried because he is confident that he will continue to handle Bayern.
Yes, Bayern Munich just suffered a 0-1 defeat to Lazio at the Olimpico Stadium, Thursday (15/2/2024). In this match, Die Roten had to play with 10 players after Dayot Upamecano fouled Gustav Isaksen in the penalty box and had to receive a red card in the 67th minute.
Ciro Immobile, who stepped forward as executor, was successful in bringing Lazio to ensure victory at home. The 33 year old striker’s shot successfully entered Manuel Neuer’s left side of the goal in the 69th minute.
Meanwhile, the defeat to Lazio put Thomas Tuchel under pressure. Moreover, Bayern Munich suffered a crushing 0-3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in the 2023-2024 German League match.
Nevertheless, Thomas Tuchel admitted that he was not worried about his future as Bayern Munich coach. Moreover, the CEO of Bayern Munich, Jan-Christian Dreesen, said that Thomas Tuchel remains safe as coach.
“No, I’m not worried about my future,” said Thomas Tuchel, quoted from the Mirror, Thursday (15/2/2024).
The German coach said Bayern Munich had tried everything, but the result was defeat. In fact, Thomas Tuchel assessed that the many mistakes his players made made Lazio able to secure victory.
“We did everything to lose this match. At some point we stopped believing, I don’t know why. There were a lot of mistakes the players made,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the second leg between Bayern Munich and Lazio will take place at the Allianz Arena, (6/3/2024). Die Roten must be able to score two goals and not concede, if they want to qualify for the next round.
