In a recent statement, Thomas Tuchel, the manager of Bayern Munich, addressed his approach to player management and team communication. Tuchel emphasized the importance of maintaining a positive and supportive environment within the team, categorically denying ever using demotivating language towards his players.
Tuchel stated, “I’d never tell the players those words, ‘you’re not as good as I thought’ — that would be absurd.” He further elaborated on the counterproductive nature of such comments, suggesting that a coach who speaks to his team in this manner would likely find himself isolated. “What’s the point of saying that? After a sentence like that, a coach wouldn’t go back to his team on the bus. We’d never do that,” he added.
The Bayern Munich manager also highlighted the unity within the team, saying, “We are together, absolutely.” This statement underscores Tuchel’s commitment to fostering a cohesive and supportive team environment, which is crucial for achieving success on the pitch.
Tuchel’s coaching philosophy is evidently centered around positive reinforcement and building strong, united teams. His approach at Bayern Munich reflects his belief in the importance of maintaining a constructive and encouraging atmosphere among players and staff alike.
