Time up for Thomas Tuchel?

Recent weeks have seen a downturn in form for Bayern Munich, culminating in a significant 3-0 loss to Bundesliga rivals Bayer Leverkusen.

This unconvincing trend continued with a surprising first-leg defeat to Lazio in the Champions League last 16, where Bayern failed to register a single shot on target. 

The comprehensive nature of these setbacks has raised concerns about the team's performance and ability to compete at the highest level.

Now, respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that internal talks are set to take place regarding Tuchel's future, and this defeat to Bochum could very well be his last game in the Bayern dug-out.
