Thomas Tuchel could ‘walk out’ on Bayern Munich just after two months

Dietmar Hamann has suggested Thomas Tuchel will follow Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic out of Bayern Munich.

An 11th consecutive Bundesliga title triumph on Saturday was overshadowed by the sackings of chief executive Kahn and sporting director Salihamidzic just a few hours later.

Former Bayern and Liverpool midfielder Hamann believed that Tuchel, the coach only appointed in late March, could also walk away with a fellow pundit suggesting it could happen as soon as today.

He said on German TV: 'When you treat people like this, you have to ask yourself: Do you want to work for this club?

'I don't think you can rule out Tuchel leaving soon too. But he'll leave of his own accord.'

Hamann's fellow pundit, Erik Meijer, then added: 'I think he'll have left the club by Monday.'

Bayern pipped rivals Borussia Dortmund to another Bundesliga crown on a dramatic final afternoon.

Jamal Musiala's 89th-minute winner at Cologne proved decisive as Dortmund were held to a 2-2 draw by Mainz, handing Bayern the title on goal difference following a nip and tuck race.

Speaking at Bayern's title celebration in Munich's Marienplatz on Sunday, Tuchel said: 'It would of course be desirable for things to calm down and for us to be able to focus on football.

'We have enough to do. We have to play faster, play better, play more consistently. We want to improve on all levels. We have to come back as a unit.

'We want to make sure there's a family feeling and also protect ourselves from external influences and opinions.

'This is very important. Only then can we demand everything from the players.'

But as Bayern celebrated another success, there was blood-letting at board level, with Kahn and Salihamidzic fired immediately afterwards.

Vice-chairman Jan-Christian Dreesen will take over from Kahn, with a replacement for Salihamidzic to be announced.

A statement on the club's official website said: 'Oliver Kahn is no longer CEO of FC Bayern Munchen AG. Hasan Salihamidzic will also be replaced as board member for sport. This was decided by the club's supervisory board.

'Kahn will be replaced by the current vice-chairman of the board Jan-Christian Dreesen. Salihamidzic's successor is still to be decided.'

Kahn broke his silence with a Twitter message in which he revealed he wasn't allowed to join in with the celebrations. 

'I would like to celebrate with you, but unfortunately I can't be with you today because the club has forbidden me.

'I'm looking forward to next season. We will not only be German champions for the 12th time! Let's celebrate!'

Former midfielder Salihamidzic returned to the club as sporting director in August 2017 and was promoted to the post of board member for sport three years later.

But behind the scenes, the club has been in turmoil. They fired Julian Nagelsmann as coach on March 24, replacing him with former Chelsea boss Tuchel.

In Tuchel's first game, they beat Dortmund 4-2 at the Allianz Arena but they subsequently suffered disappointing exits from the DFB-Pokal to Freiburg and the Champions League to Manchester City.

In the first leg against City, they lost 3-0 but the result was overshadowed by striker Sadio Mane hitting team-mate Leroy Sane in a dressing room altercation that escalated from an on-pitch disagreement. 

Mane, signed from Liverpool for £27.4million last summer, hasn't lived up to expectations after a promising start.

He said: 'It has been a great journey, which I would have liked to continue, but I respect the decision of the supervisory board. FC Bayern stands above everything else, and I wish our team and our fans cohesion and success.'

Bayern have shown more vulnerability this season than at any point in a dominance of German football that has been pretty much absolute over the past decade.

Last weekend's 3-1 home defeat to RB Leipzig handed Dortmund a golden chance to win their first title since 2012 under Jurgen Klopp - but they were unable to take it.

He wrote: 'Unbelievable! A big compliment and congratulations guys! I always told you so! Always give everything to the end and never give up. I am incredibly proud of you and this achievement!
