Bayern Munich lost 3-2 to Heidenheim this Saturday in the German Championship. With the result, the Bavarians are increasingly distant from the competition title, which is close to being won by leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Because of this, the team’s sporting director, Max Eberl, was asked if there would be a reconstruction at the club for next season.
“Yes, because there are a lot of things that need to change,” Eberl said after the match.
With just five more games left until the end of the Bundesliga (18 points up for grabs), the gap between Bayern and Leverkusen is 16 points. The team led by coach Xabi Alonso is undefeated this season and should break the Bavarians’ streak of 11 consecutive titles.
Bayern have already announced that German Thomas Tuchel will step down as coach at the end of the season. However, a new commander for 2024/25 has not yet been announced. German football legend Lothar Matthaus advocates a change in command as soon as possible.
“The result says a lot. Thomas Tuchel cannot continue leading the team. He gives press conferences and strange statements. Because of this, I expect a reaction from Bayern in the next 24 or 48 hours. The team needs a boost and Tuchel can’t give it,” said the former German player to Sky Sport.
