Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel says he will not be “influenced” by a petition calling on him to stay at the club.
The petition calling for the 50-year-old to stay at the Allianz Arena was signed by over 12,000 supporters.external
FC Bayern announced in February that Tuchel would leave the club at the end of the season, a year before the end of his contract.
“Even though this topic is good for me, if she [the fans] “I wish you stay, that’s not a priority,” said Tuchel.
“It shouldn’t be a priority. The next 11 days are all about football and nothing else. Whether pleasant or unpleasant, I don’t let it affect me.”
Ralf Rangnick, Manchester United's former interim manager, has held talks with Bayern about replacing former Chelsea manager Tuchel this summer.
Tuchel added that it was the club's responsibility to appoint his successor and that he had switched his headphones to “noise canceling mode” to ignore the speculation.
