This highly anticipated German classic sees Thomas Tuchel return to his old stomping ground after a brief spell as Borussia's coach between 2015 and 2017. During his time at Signal Iduna Park, Tuchel led Dortmund to a DFB Cup victory in his second year, but their relationship never truly blossomed, as Borussia's renowned slogan implies.
Michael Rummenigge's Take on Tuchel 💬
Michael Rummenigge, the brother of Bayern president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, offered his thoughts on Tuchel ahead of the upcoming classic. In an interview with 'wettbasis.com', he revealed that a parting of ways was necessary due to interpersonal issues at the time.
Tuchel's tenure has been controversial, even before his time at Bayern. His public feud with Uli Hoeness kicked off in the summer, as Tuchel criticized Hoeness for blocking his desired "holding six". Rummenigge was taken aback by Tuchel's smug reaction to Hoeness's comments over adding to the squad during the winter or summer.
"Uli Hoeness said he might add to the squad in the winter or summer. And then Thomas Tuchel says, as I read it: 'What does he mean? The Leberkäs-Semmel, or does he mean the transfer market? I get the feeling he's become a bit of a joker'."
