Thomas Tuchel will no longer be on the Bayern Munich coaching bench next season. Both parties have reached an agreement to terminate the contract, which runs until June 30, 2025, early. The club confirmed this on Wednesday.

Bayern Munich is experiencing a difficult season under Tuchel and is facing a real crisis after a series of three consecutive defeats. In the past week and a half, the German record champion lost the competition top match against Bayer Leverkusen (3-0), the first leg of the eighth finals in the Champions League against Lazio (1-0) and the Bundesliga match against Bochum (3-2).

In the standings of the German competition, the star team from Bavaria is already eight points behind Leverkusen after 22 match days. A twelfth national title in a row seems increasingly unlikely. Bayern is also out of the German Cup, after an embarrassment against third division Saarbrücken in the sixteenth finals, and must catch up against Lazio to continue to play a role in the Champions League. There is a threat of an exit in the eighth finals. It is a realistic scenario that Bayern Munich will miss out on a prize for the first time since 2012.

The 50-year-old Tuchel has been at the helm of Bayern since March 2023, where he took over from the dismissed Julian Nagelsmann. Before that, he trained Chelsea, PSG, Borussia Dortmund and Mainz, among others.
