Losing 3-0 to table-toppers Bayer Leverkusen last weekend and following it up with a disappointing 1-0 Champions League Round of Last 16 defeat against Lazio on Wednesday, the 50-year-old is dangerously close to being relieved of his duties.
However, despite his precarious position in the Allianz Arena’s dugout, Tuchel, according to Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, has an important run of games left to save his job.
“The next three games against Bochum, Leipzig and Freiburg are crucial for the internal evaluation,” he said. “Following that is the return leg against Lazio.”
