April 01, (THEWILL) – Thomas Tuchel made a strong start in his debut game as Bayern Munich manager against rivals, Borussia Dortmund, with a 4-2 victory that saw the 10-time reigning champions leapfrog Dortmund to claim the top spot in the Bundesliga.
However, Tuchel, who replaced Julian Nagelsmann during the international break, acknowledges there is still work to be done. Despite an impressive victory, Tuchel admits the game was “too wild,” with too many ball losses, and that the team needs to take better advantage of their openings.
He praised his team’s willingness to learn and is confident that with analysis and improvement, they can continue to dominate the league. He said: “It’s a bit like a band or an orchestra. We have to find our rhythm.”
Nagelsmann’s sacking, despite Bayern’s place in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals, caused unrest, but Tuchel is determined to bring peace and confidence to the team. He noted that he believes that with a calm and clear approach, Bayern can continue to perform at the top level and claim an 11th straight Bundesliga title.
