Bayern Munich chief ‘doesn’t give a s***’ about replacing Thomas Tuchel as he admits major Arsenal concern


BAYERN MUNICH chief Max Eberl says he “doesn’t give a s**t” about replacing Thomas Tuchel while the club is still in the Champions League.

The German giants were 2-0 up against Heidenheim yesterday but capitulated and lost 3-2.

Bayern are now 16 points behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga and Tuchel has already congratulated Xabi Alonso’s side on their title.

All eyes are now on their Champions League quarter-final tie against Arsenal.

The first leg at the Emirates is on Tuesday before the Gunners head to Bavaria for the return fixture on April 17.

Tuchel leaves the club at the end of the season and Bayern remain on the hunt for a new manager.

But director Eberl is more concerned by current performances than who will be in the dugout next term.

Asked about the managerial situation, he instead raged about Bayern’s latest display with a team Arsenal’s calibre on the horizon.

Eberl said: “I don’t give a s**t about the search for a coach. 

“Now it’s all about the Arsenal game. We’ll face a team, with all respect to Heidenheim, that is a class above them.

“Now we have the Champions League game against Arsenal. There’s a lot coming up.”

Failure to secure European glory means Bayern will suffer a trophyless season for the first time since 2011/12.

Meanwhile, Alonso has already snubbed the chance to become their new boss to stay at Leverkusen.

Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi and ex-Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick are the favourites to takeover.
