LAGOS, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Reports reveal that Thomas Tuchel’s ongoing disputes with Bayern Munich’s leadership is raising concerns about repeating past issues he faced at Chelsea.
According to German outlet Bild, Tuchel has been vocal about Bayern’s transfer decisions, particularly the need for a new holding midfielder, causing frustration in the club’s transfer committee due to his changing stances on potential signings.
Tuchel’s recent comment after a 2-1 victory over Gladbach, stating, “The squad is a bit thin, a bit small.

“We have six trained defensive players for a four-man chain,” further irritated the hierarchy, as they believed they had adequately strengthened the squad during the transfer window.
Tuchel’s confrontational approach with senior figures is not new. His 20-month tenure at Chelsea ended partly due to strained relations with co-owner Todd Boehly.
Recent behind-the-scenes drama at Bayern, including reports of a secret team meeting held by players without Tuchel, hints at a potential repeat of these controversies in Munich.
Despite these disagreements, Tuchel’s position at Bayern remains relatively secure. He is determined to capitalize on Harry Kane’s transfer to the Bundesliga and lead the team to a successful season.
The team has made an impressive start, boasting a 100 percent win rate and narrowly trailing in the standings on goal difference alone.
