Miroslav Klose could be appointed as interim Bayern coach if Thomas Tuchel fail to beat Arsenal: Report

Bayern will travel to the Emirates to play the Gunners

Abendzeitung claims that Miroslav Klose might be appointed head coach in an acting capacity if Bayern Munich loses to Arsenal, thus relieving Thomas Tuchel of his responsibilities.

Bayern’s situation is getting close to crisis status following their 3-2 loss to Heidenheim on Saturday. Due to a late Harry Kane goal and victories against relegation-fighting Mainz and Darmstadt, Bayern has only triumphed over RB Leipzig three times in their last eight Bundesliga games.With this series of results giving Bayer Leverkusen a 16-point advantage at the top of the table, Bayern’s only realistic hope for the current campaign is to win the Champions League.

But on Tuesday, they travel to London to play Arsenal, the current Premier League leaders, and a defeat there would seriously jeopardise their chances of making it to the semifinals. Tuchel is not likely to be head coach of Bayern should they struggle in the Champions League.Within the team, there’s a chance that former striker Klose would take over as Bayern’s temporary head coach for the balance of the campaign, with Hermann Gerland, the club’s longtime head coach, serving as his assistant. This course of action is only taken into consideration if things go really bad.
