Following the third consecutive defeat for Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich side, Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has said Tuchel will remain head coach next week.

Bayern Munich are now eight points off Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen following their 3-2 defeat to VfL Bochum.

With only twelve games left in the season, they face an uphill battle to continue their streak in terms of winning the Meisterschale.

Jan-Christian Dreesen spoke to Sky Germany after the tie and said: "I feel rubbish. I don’t believe in big statements about the coach. This issue isn’t on our mind at the moment."

Thomas Tuchel himself spoke to DAZN following the game and said: "I don’t think today’s defeat was fair, I think a lot went against us today."

At the moment, it seems as if Thomas Tuchel will be in the dugout for Bayern Munich's clash against RB Leipzig next Saturday.

However, many people believe this match is to be one of huge significance for the coach's future.
