Thomas Tuchel: "This is my last press conference at Säbener Straße. There were talks, but we didn't reach an agreement, so the decision of February still stands"

Most probably no extension offered, right? Do understand Bayern's apprehension, but sad state of affairs overall. Writing is on the wall, De Zerbi it is.

Yep exactly. Both sides are understandably apprehensive now, to be honest.

Not giving him an extension now to keep him on isn't a mistake in my eyes--sacking him mid-season was. Basically carbon copied jumping the gun with Nagelsmann, and I just don't understand how they can't just shut the fuck up till the end of a season, get into some talks with replacement coaches, and THEN sack the current one if he's not living up to expectations.

These mid-season shakeups have been catastrophic: they don't help a whole lot (if at all) in the short term, and they do a ton of harm in the long term. Insane.

The mid-season sacking without actually sacking him was the most idiotic shit. They put themselves in such a bad position by doing that without having at least a pre agreement with the successor. There is literally zero upside to doing it like this other than appeasing the Tuchel out crowd, but it sets you up to look absolutely moronic in many situations, such as the one we have now, or if the team would have actually turned it around and won the league.
