In as much as we can't apportion all the blames of Bayern Munich's shortcomings this season on their manager Mauricio Pochentino, I still think the his tactical approaches to the team's games this season played a major role in the club's current position and lack of any major trophy this season. In the last 11 seasons, Bayern Munich have been winning the league title but in the current manager's first full season with the club, Bayern Munich lost the league title. Thomas Tuchel hasn't shown enough sign that he knows what to do with the team and how to improve the team so I think it was a very good decision by the club management to as him to leave the club at the end of the current season.
Bayern Munich is the most successful German club in the history of the game of football and I strongly believe that they'll bounce back to their position immediately another manager takes over the managerial position at the club. Thomas Tuchel helped Chelsea win the UEFA Champions League title three seasons ago but after that particular season, he's not been convincing again with his performances. Hopefully, he gets another coaching job from one of the top European clubs

That's right, management, Tuchel and the Bayern players are responsible for the team performance based on their respective capacities, and actually no one needs to be blamed because no matter what the ups and downs in performance will come to all teams. Leverkusen is unstoppable, all teams will look like mediocre clubs in front of Xabi fleet, not only Bundesliga contestants, but European League contestants also feel the same way.

Stop looking for a scapegoat and focus on building the club for next season, that is a wiser step for Bayern in response to their failure this season. Overall, Bayern is even performing better than last season, where they are now able to collect 72 points, and have the potential to get an additional 3 points in the next match. So it is clear that Tuchel succeeded in bringing Bayern beyond their achievements last season, only they failed to win a trophy because Leverkusen was never defeated.

Besides that, Bayern failure does not come from Kane curse, I don't believe in curses, Kane has even helped Bayern with a number of goals he has scored this season. I think this is purely because Bayern is unable to create consistency like Leverkusen, who have never been beaten in all matches.

I don't think this is entirely Tuchel's fault. In previous seasons, Munich had also lost several times in the Bundesliga. But because other teams played worse, Munich could become league champions. This season Munich has 7 defeats and last season they had 5 defeats. That's not a big difference. You can see that Munich's achievements this season are not much different from last season. But Leverkusen's extraordinary performance managed to beat Munich and make them lose the title for the first time in many years. Yes this is Tuchel's fault but I think it is the fault of the team as a whole.

The most ridiculous thing Bayern did some time ago was to offer the position of coach back to Nagelsmann, who clearly still felt a grudge because of Bayern's previous treatment which indeed fired him and replaced it with Tuchel so it was clear that it would be rejected outright

Currently entrusting Tuchel could be a little complicated because in my opinion the most basic thing to do is to find a new coach for Bayern because Tuchel's performance is not very good and does not match the initial expectations so why keep a coach who has proven to be a failure this season. At the moment there are still several options that they can do especially by looking at some time ago where De Zerbi who entered Bayern I think it can be used as a good thing because after all even though there is no guarantee for De Zerbi but it will be a little better than forcing Tuchel to stay at the Alianz Arena.

Well talking about moving forward with tuchels stay at Bayern Munich, it's actually very much under probability but then there's yet to be an official statement in that regards and I don't think when one will be made it may likely favour tuchel because so much of blame have been thrown at him this period due to the kind of failure his team seem to be experiencing since this season and not been able to get a trophy this season too got the management bordered.

From a different perspective I wouldn't want to throw all blame at tuchel outrightly because tactically he wasn't having too many lapsis and it can be seen in the fact thst except Leverkusen who came with a different kind of exceptionality this season, Bayern Munich didn't get to suffer much challenge from other bundesliga team and they did displace some level of dominance that got them the second spot where they currently are on the table, even in the champions league they were able to make it upto the semi finals stage and it was clear they obviously had a very experienced and tough opponent of which you can't totally blame them for not been able to get pass that stage .

In the first meeting against Madrid they where able to secure some levels of probabilities to get to the finals and even in their second leg they were still solid with their performance but weren't just lucky so the problem wholly doesn't just lay with the coach but they need to understand every season can't get same results if not it becomes boring and doesn't look real the way football aught to be. Except for the fact that they have no trophy so far, they did finished well in the various leagues and are aswell did well for the season.

Bayern Leverkusen have successfully unlocked the supremacy that Bayern Munich had over the Bundesliga teams.Bayern was ontop for more than five years now,which actually made the league boring, exactly what Manchester City are doing now  at England,and if they should win now,it will be Pep's fourth back to back wins in the premier league.Their supremacy have been superb,and even when we thought Arsenal would be able to win them this year,they still fell below City,and it's remaining just a game to go before they will be crowned champions of England once again.Thank God for Leverkusen in Germany,being able to stop their tittle run by Bayern,.

It should be remembered that what Xabi is aiming for is not only about the record without losing but the 2 finals that are waiting in sight which is an important situation because when they export the players against Augsburg just because of the pursuit of a record that will not be overtaken by anyone in the near future but do not pay attention to the condition of the players then this could have an impact on the 2 finals later so it is necessary to pay attention to the right steps from this situation.

I think making some rotations is fine for the sake of making their players safe because we won't know what the game will be like so it would be good enough if they don't prioritise the match against Augsburg too much because they just have to be unbeaten no matter win or draw it won't have any impact on them in the bundesliga but it's different with the 2 finals that will be done because if they fail then indeed the treble opportunity is clearly gone.

Xavi Alonso and Bayern Leverkusen players want to end this Bundesliga season unbeaten, and they only need to beat or draw with Augsburg to achieve unbeaten this season. Augsburg is currently struggling to win their matches in the Bundesliga; they have lost five of their last eight matches in the Bundesliga. With the recent performance of Augsburg in the Bundesliga, Bayern Leverkusen will easily beat them when they play on Saturday.

Not sure how it will affect the domestic league though, considering the players' quality or the gap between each league/team is different. Maybe it will be a story for European competitions but won't affect the domestic league that much unless there's an increase in interest in watching the Bundesliga. I can see it happening if more Bundesliga teams participate and end up in the semis or even finals. That's my take as a football fan anyway.

I believe the key reason is more about the difficulty of attracting interest from other managers or hiring new managers in general. Some articles[1] suggest that the cost to hire new managers is quite expensive, which is a bit odd to me considering Bayern's monetary power. But who knows, it is hard to trust any "insider info" nowadays.

I think they may have decided to keep him in the team because they couldn't find a better candidate to replace Tuchel. Kimmich is an important player, but if Tuchel remains in the team and is determined to leave, Bayern will lose an important player. He is an important name for Bayern at the age of 29 and can make important contributions to Barcelona if he joins them.

I think Bayern Munich may not try to move forward with Tuchel again. Tuchel is an important coach, I definitely believe that. He also has very important successes, but this year's failure for Bayern Munich is enough for me to believe that he will not be in the team next year. Bayern lost the league for the first time in years and Tuchel is seen as the main responsible for this.

Keeping Tuchel is not a bad idea but it will not change the fact that they might still end I Leverkusen next season.
Bayern Munich’s management is trying not to make any mistake that will lead the team to big downfall, they don’t want to employ any inexperienced manager that will struggle to adapt to the system which will lead them down in short period of time, so they are rating Tuchel’s Champions League performance to keep him and since they said that his conflict with the players has been settled is a good thing to hear and I think the team will try again next season.

I think he deserves some good funding in the next season. I think if he gets the players that he wants, he will be able to create a better team. And he will obviously be able to bring in good results. I can’t say if he will bring in better results or not because I do not know how you can bring in better results than this. But I guess we can see how he will perform in the Champions League competition.

By the way, I have a question. We all know that they have been able to win the Bundesliga title which means they are going to compete in the Champions League competition. But there is also a very high chance that they are going to win the Europa League title. So there is no way they are going to miss participating in the Champions League. My question is what if they are actually able to win the Champions League? I definitely believe it is going to be a big rivalry between Ancelotti and Alonso. And for some reason, I believe half of the goals that both of the teams are going to score will be in the injury time.

 I see that Bayern are thinking about keeping Tuchel as head coach. After Alonso and Negelsman refused, their choice was not so great, although here they need to think about whether Tuchel’s conflicts with the players have been settled, because Kimmich said that he would leave the team if Tuchel stayed. And by the way, Barcelona is interested in Kimmich, so it’s worth thinking carefully about whether Tuchel is worth keeping in the team.

How sure are you that they can win the trophy next season again when they are about selling some of their good players, bids have already started coming in and if they sell some specific players, their performance will reduce drastically and they’ll have to struggle back into the league and other competitions they’ll be participating in. They should know how to keep those players that are important to them to be in their best and if they can’t keep them, a replacement should found for them before the transfer window closes at the beginning of the season. Bayern Leverkusen are rated amongst the best team in Europe and it’s because of their performance this season, if they can keep it up, they’ll keep going higher, so I hope they do the right thing to keep them above other teams in the competition.

How can the management regret appointing the coach who brought such success? Even if you ask the president of Bayer Leverkusen, I think he will not say that their goal at the beginning of the year is the championship. They played much, much more than expectations this year. They are having a great season in all respects. They are almost like in a dream. Everyone is already talking about what they will do next year. They raised the expectation bar to the moon.

I do agree that Tuchel will leave, and I think a few other players will leave with him as well, Bayern is on a "rebuilding" phase, and seems like it will not be all that easy. Also there are rumours that Davies may go to Real Madrid, usually Real spends a lot of money for one player, to you know get a star, and this year Mbappe is a free agent so they did not spend that much money, and they are sending a few players away too, so getting a star player would mean a lot.

I think it would make sense to get Davies, he is a good enough defender, he is fast, he is great at attacks, and great passing as well. I feel like that will definitely be something to care about and should be something we could care in the end if we know what we are doing.

We can also say that if Bayer Leverkusen wins the UEL this year, the teams ranked lower in the Bundesliga will be more hopeful. Teams in the Bundesliga must now want Leverkusen to win the UEL. The Champions League is an important tournament and I think the main goal of every team is to play in that league. I think it will be a pleasure to watch the Bundesliga teams there next year, after all, the German teams make us watch enjoyable football matches.

Based on the information I got, the reason the Bundesliga and Serie A got one additional ticket to five teams was because of the high total points earned during that period. But yes, whatever format is applied for me there is no problem at all because after all, the rules applied have certainly received approval from many parties, so that no more problems occur. Because after all, even though the Bundesliga and Serie A get more places, the fact remains that there is no guarantee for them to be able to win the Champion League trophy next season. But yes, at least if next season Bayer Leverkusen still has an impressive performance like this season, then maybe Bayer Leverkusen will have a good chance next season too. Who knows

Leverkusen is going to play against Augsburg in the next match and Augsburg has not been able to win in the last four matches. Actually, they have lost each of the last four matches. So I do not think anyone is expecting them to win against Leverkusen. I think Leverkusen will definitely be able to at least draw this match.

But we also have to remember that even though this match is not going to have any great impact on either of the teams on the table, Augsburg might think that beating Leverkusen is going to be something of an achievement in itself because they have not been beaten in this season at all. so I think Leverkusen should still be careful. But I do think it is going to be any problem for them to at least avoid the loss in this match. It is definitely going to be a great achievement for them to finish this Bundesliga season without any losses.
