Earlier, Bayern's management officially announced that Tuchel would leave his post at the end of this season and a new specialist would take over.

However, the fans of the Munich giants learned that the main contender is now Austrian Ralf Rangnick and created a petition demanding that Tuchel be dismissed, as Rangnick is "not close to the German coach".

As a reminder, two other contenders for the Bayern Munich head coaching job, Unai Emery and Julian Nagelsmann, have already signed new deals with Aston Villa and the German national team, respectively.
