Thomas Tuchel’s Position Is Not Safe

FootyBiteNovember 6, 2020

PARIS: Thomas Tuchel left Borussia Dortmund in poor condition in 2017 and it is likely the same thing will happen again at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).

The 47-year-old German, whose contract expires this season, is under pressure after PSG lost 2-1 at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Previously, they have never lost more than once in the Champions League group stage since being taken over by Qatar Sports Investments.

Although Tuchel brought PSG back to the top of Ligue 1 with seven wins in a row since starting the campaign with two defeats, the result on the European stage has been the yardstick for clubs like PSG.

“When a coach enters the final year of his contract and no negotiations are done after what is achieved, there are many possibilities.

“For a while, I thought after winning four titles and advancing to the Champions League final, a coach would be safe.

“But we can’t dream. We’ll see,” Tuchel said.
