Thomas Tuchel is feeling the pressure already at Bayern Munich despite only spending over a month on the job as manager since replacing Julian Nagelsmann in March.

The German’s future seems to be at risk after just seven games in charge of the reigning Bundesliga champions after a run of bad results.

The Bavarians have since dropped down to second in the Bundesliga table and crashed out of the UEFA Champions League and the DFB-Pokal in a disappointing fashion.

Bayern to discuss Tuchel’s future

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich has set a board meeting for May 22nd to discuss the future of manager Thomas Tuchel following the club’s recent run of poor results, Sport Bible reports.

Tuchel's future at the Bavarian club has been cast further into doubt following a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Mainz 05 and another training incident in which the manager lost his cool on Thursday this week.

Bayern Munich, who were in the race for a treble before Tuchel’s appointment, could yet finish this campaign trophyless as they currently trail Borussia Dortmund by one point with five games left of the Bundesliga season.

Bayern Chief backs Thomas Tuchel

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Oliver Kahn has thrown his weight behind Thomas Tuchel following Bayern Munich's slow start under the rein of the former Chelsea boss.

Tuchel replaced Julian Nagelsmann when the Bavarians were in good standing to clinch the treble this season.

Tuchel's recent setback could hamper the chances of FC Hollywood retaining their league title, with many questioning the rationale behind the decision to replace Nagelsmann with his compatriot.
