Bayern Munich find themselves embroiled in internal strife as reports emerge of key players rallying behind Thomas Tuchel’s tenure as head coach, amidst speculation of a potential return for former treble-winning coach Hansi Flick.
Flick, who masterminded Bayern's historic Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, and UEFA Champions League triumph in 2019-2020, has been under consideration by the club's hierarchy for a comeback.
However, contrary to expectations, influential figures within the squad, including Manuel Neuer, are believed to be advocating for Tuchel to be given more time, as per reports from Germany.
These players have purportedly conveyed their preference to the club's board, urging patience with the former Chelsea manager.
Last season saw Tuchel guide Bayern to a thrilling Bundesliga title victory on the final day against Koln.
However, the current campaign has seen Bayern falter, conceding the Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen and suffering a heart-wrenching defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final just last week.
With Bayern's last league fixture against Hoffenheim approaching this Saturday, a final decision regarding the manager's future awaits the conclusion of the season.
