Can you change the matter of leaving office? In February, Bayern Munich officially announced that manager Thomas Tuchel would leave at the end of the season, the result of negotiations between then-CEO Andrey Dreisen and Tuchel. Three months on, however, things have changed dramatically, with a number of managers turning down offers from Bayern Munich and Tuchel moving infinitely closer to continuing as Bayern Munich manager.

Germany's "Sky Sports" reported on the 16th that Tuchel is expected to continue as Bayern head coach, which is the conclusion reached after internal discussions within the club on the evening of the 15th local time, and the Bundesliga giants are now focused on reaching an agreement with Tuchel. While De Zerbi and Erik ten Hag are also under consideration and remain on Bayern's list, the club's management now has Tuchel at the top of their list.

While there is no final agreement between the two sides on Tuchel's continued tenure, the timing is expected to be immediate. The embarrassing thing is that Bayern has missed any trophies this season, they were in their home league by Bayer Leverkusen to end the 11th consecutive Bundesliga title, the Champions League also stopped in the semi-finals, the German Cup was eliminated by the German Bundesliga team, and in the German Super Cup in August last year, the team defeated Leipzig by three goals, and the performance was extremely bad. In this case, Bayern finally did not have the opportunity to "join forces" with other famous coaches, so it is more logical to retreat to continue to negotiate with Tuchel about contract renewal.

According to Bild, Tuchel's future at Bayern is expected to be decided at the end of the week, with his disagreement with the club largely centred on the length of his contract. The outlet notes that the Bayern hierarchy wants Tuchel to continue with his current contract until 2025, but Tuchel has asked for a contract extension. Bayern Munich have paid a lot of fees to terminate their coach's contract in recent years and they want to avoid such expenses as much as possible, but may have to agree to give Tuchel a new contract in order to convince him to stay, with a final decision expected to be made this weekend as the club look to confirm a manager for next season as soon as possible.
