It can't continue like this — Legend laments as Bayern confirm Tuchel decision ahead of Arsenal clash

The future of Bayern Munich's head coach, Thomas Tuchel, hangs in the balance following a brutal assessment by club legend Lothar Matthaus. After a shocking loss to Heidenheim, the clamor for Tuchel's dismissal has gained momentum, with important voices within the team speaking out.

Lothar Matthaus, speaking on Sky, didn't mince his words, suggesting, "There's always something that can be saved, but I think the atmosphere is broken between Thomas Tuchel and the team."

Matthaus highlighted the disappointment of squandering a 2-0 lead against Heidenheim and expressed scepticism about Tuchel's ability to inspire the team ahead of crucial fixtures.

Despite the mounting pressure on Tuchel, Bayern's sporting directors have come out in support of the beleaguered coach. Christoph Freund asserted, "Yes, 100 percent, [Tuchel will remain in charge]."

Max Eberl echoed this sentiment, acknowledging that improvements are needed but stopping short of advocating for Tuchel's removal.

With Bayern facing Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals, Tuchel finds himself under intense scrutiny. A defeat against the Gunners could spell disaster for Bayern's season, leaving them without silverware for the first time in nearly a decade.

Tuchel must rally his team to overcome their recent setbacks and deliver a performance that could salvage their campaign.
