Thomas Tuchel's speech to Harry Kane & Bayern flops after being sacked leaks online - with savage nine-word message to players who instigated dressing room split revealed

Bayern confirmed they will be parting ways with Tuchel after crisis talks following a run of three straight defeats, amid talk of a dressing room revolt led by Thomas Muller and Joshua Kimmich. Tuchel spoke to his players after news of his forthcoming departure was announced and had a special message for those players who were eager to see him depart.

According to Bild, Tuchel told the dressing room: "Everyone can show up for the new coach now."

The Bayern boss then urged his team to finish the season strongly, adding: "There are no longer discussions every week, everyone knows about it. We can still achieve something, we have to win."

Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen also had some harsh words for the players. "We will now look closely," he said. "You are responsible!"

Bayern have opted to change coach after seeing Tuchel's side fall behind in the title race. The Bavarian giants are now eight points behind leaders Bayer Leverkusen and have already been dumped out of the German Cup. Tuchel's men also face a battle to stay in the Champions League. Bayern trail 1-0 from the first leg of their last 16 tie with Lazio. Harry Kane has been the one bright spot for Bayern since his arrival from Tottenham last summer, scoring 31 goals in his first 31 appearances, and he has also stood behind Tuchel, but there has been a serious drop-off in collective standards at Allianz Arena.

Bayern are now looking for a new manager and are reportedly set to battle Liverpool for Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso. Meanwhile, Tuchel is thought to be keen to return to the Premier League and is interested in the Manchester United job.
