THOMAS TUCHEL has reportedly been slapped with a strict warning at a secret meeting with Bayern Munich board members.
The Bayern boss has been informed about his negative behaviour in recent months.
According to German outlet Bild, Bayern chiefs have been unimpressed by Tuchel’s “erratic” conduct following the club’s failed transfers during the summer window.
Bild claims there was a secret meeting held earlier this month while the players were away on international duty to discuss the matter.
The 50-year-old was told to be less negative and emotional when talking about his squad in public.
Bayern bosses are also said to be concerned about his comments upsetting players and have given a strict warning that his attitude needs to change.
