It is an open secret that not everyone involved at FC Bayern has always agreed on the transfer policy in recent weeks. The dissonances between coach Thomas Tuchel and the club management are said to be even greater than previously known.
According to “Sport Bild”, there was “total incomprehension” in the management team of the German record champions because of Tuchel’s critical statements about his squad after the end of the transfer period. Even more: The head coach is playing a “very dangerous game” with his statements, the paper writes.
The constant demands for a new signing for the defensive midfield had “annoyed” the bosses in the weeks before, it is said. The fact that Tuchel does not let the topic rest is seen “very critically”.
Accordingly, the Munich executive floor is of the opinion that Tuchel should now concentrate on his work with the existing player material.
Even while the transfer window was still open, the 50-year-old apparently caused some tension internally. Tuchel’s behavior, especially when it came to goalkeepers, was “erratic”, and some of the ideas he put forward in FC Bayern’s “Sports Committee” were felt to be “too creative”.
FC Bayern: Tuchel posse with Joao Cancelo
On the deadline day, those responsible are said to have given the trainer the prospect of signing full-back Joao Cancelo again on loan.
According to “Sport Bild”, Tuchel first expressed interest in working with the 29-year-old Portuguese again, but then canceled after consulting his coaching team. Cancelo ultimately moved from Manchester City to FC Barcelona, FC Bayern did not sign another defender.
Bitter for Tuchel: He didn’t get the six he wanted either. Joao Palhinha from FC Fulham was already in Munich. The deal burst shortly before the end of the transfer because the Premier League club could not find a successor for the 28-year-old clearer.
