As a supervisor, coming in to handle a crew on the finish of March and get outcomes is extraordinarily troublesome. Doing so at Bayern Munich, Germany’s largest membership, makes issues unbelievably troublesome. But that was the scenario Thomas Tuchel discovered himself in when he took over from Julian Nagelsmann at Bayern Munich, nonetheless alive within the DFB-Pokal and Champions League and a degree off 1st place within the Bundesliga. How did he fare with this troublesome process? Since Bayern instantly crashed out of each cup competitions after Tuchel took over, it could be straightforward to say Tuchel is doing a poor job.
However Kahn thinks issues are extra advanced than this. In an interview with Sport Bild, as captured by @iMiaSanMia, Kahn talked about his first impressions of Tuchel: “Thomas Tuchel impressed me from the primary day. I really feel that he’s reaching the crew emotionally along with his approach of working and speeches.” He even added that these speeches helped him really feel “like going out on the pitch myself.” Fortunately for Bayern’s opponents, Der Titan restrained himself.
Sadly, Tuchel’s communication abilities couldn’t save Bayern from a poor second half of the season. However there are extenuating circumstances, Kahn says. “The second half of the season was troublesome for FC Bayern. Our German internationals had an absolute low after the World Cup elimination. Our French gamers misplaced the ultimate, Lucas Hernández tore his ACL, Noussair Mazraoui had a coronary heart drawback. To not neglect (Sadio) Mané’s harm. Then Manuel Neuer broke his leg on a snowboarding vacation. The crew wasn’t constant after that.”
Bayern and Tuchel shall be hoping for slightly extra luck subsequent season. However, for now, will probably be as much as Tuchel’s motivating abilities to get the gamers again on monitor and on their solution to end the season on a excessive notice, or the Bundesliga title would possibly slip away too.
