FC Bayern Munich, News: Michael Reschke criticizes Thomas Tuchel
Michael Reschke, technical director at FC Bayern from 2014 to 2017, criticized outgoing FCB coach Thomas Tuchel.
“Anyone who has followed Thomas Tuchel’s path over the last few years will have noticed that he exuded a completely different identification with his teams in Mainz, at Chelsea and certainly in the early stages in Munich and at Borussia Dortmund, than is the case at the moment. You simply have to take a critical look at that,” said Reschke Sky.
“A distance has been built up that can be felt. You can see it on the sidelines, in his coaching behavior. You can feel it in the press conferences, in the analysis after the game. There is a break that has taken place that is counterproductive for the interaction between coach and team,” the 66-year-old continued.
Both parties had contributed their part, Reschke explained: “And ultimately that doesn’t change anything in a constellation. Bayern Munich has a very strong team and Thomas Tuchel is an excellent coach. But the combination simply didn’t work.”
Reschke also criticized Tuchel’s statements at the press conference on Friday: “He didn’t get the team on board. To be honest, that surprised me a lot because I know Thomas to be highly intelligent and someone who usually reflects on a situation well. But with some of the statements he made In my opinion, he was not very well advised at the press conference.”
FC Bayern Munich, News: Thomas Tuchel denies rift
Coach Thomas Tuchel has rejected reports of a poor relationship between himself and the record champions’ players. “Of course we have clear expectations, but if there was a rift, then someone else would be sitting here today,” said the 50-year-old before the Bundesliga home game against RB Leipzig.
The decision announced on Wednesday that Tuchel and FC Bayern are separating at the end of the season implies “that there is not one rift or the opinion that we are completely working at cross purposes,” he emphasized. It is “normal that some players have a closer relationship with the coach than others,” Tuchel admitted: “Basically, the interaction is characterized by respect.”
He himself never had the feeling “that there was a major problem between the team and the coaching staff.” However, the club has given a “very diffuse picture” this season, said Tuchel: “We have a stark discrepancy between training and games. Then in the end the coach is responsible.”
Tuchel also didn’t want to let the accusation that he and the club never got together stand. “I don’t think you would find many voices here saying that we haven’t warmed up here,” he said: “If it’s that easy, then everything will be fine by summer at the latest.”
FC Bayern Munich, News: Felix Magath criticizes Thomas Tuchel
Former Bayern coach Felix Magath commented on Thomas Tuchel’s departure from FCB. “Bayern’s performances were already bad before him, but things didn’t get much better because of him. It was therefore the logical consequence,” said Magath Watson.
“I’m surprised that Bayern have solved it in such a way that Tuchel can stay until the end of the season. If he improves the relationship with the players, he can solve the situation well. But if basically the cooperation between him and the players doesn’t work for a year was good, it’s very difficult to get it done in the remaining months,” the 70-year-old continued.
For Magath, Tuchel’s thin-skinned nature is a problem: “If someone like the coach is so sensitive to factual criticism that doesn’t relate to him as a person, but to the tactical attitude of his team, then it quickly becomes clear that things will be difficult.”
At the same time, Magath took the management and the players to task: “The players have such a strong position that it is difficult for a coach to lead the players properly without the club’s officials to support them. Unfortunately, in modern football, the players are often too busy a lot of power. Coaches are increasingly being held responsible for any misconduct at clubs. At the same time, players and managers have too often gotten away with their mistakes.”
