Is Thomas Tuchel on the Brink of Getting Sacked?

Bayern Munich were considered to be the biggest rivals to Manchester City in the European stage this season. Having acquired the likes of Harry Kane, Kim Min-Jae, Raphael Guerreiro, and Konrad Laimer in the summer, Thomas Tuchel's side had a strong squad.

However, things have continued to go south since the start of the 2023/24 season. In their first game of the season, Bayern lost 3-0 to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup final. This result was followed by a shock DFB Pokal exit against third-division side Saarbrücken in November.

Having won the Bundesliga for the last 11 seasons, winning the league was supposed to be the 'bare minimum' expectation from Thomas Tuchel. However, their 3-0 loss to Leverkusen in the weekend sees them 5 points behind Xabi Alonso's unbeaten side.

The 1-0 loss to Lazio tonight in the first leg of their round of 16 tie means that Bayern are on the brink of Champions League elimination. If they fail to overturn the deficit, it will surely mark the end of Thomas Tuchel's rein.

Can Tuchel turn around Bayern's season before it's too late? Let me know your thoughts...
