Thomas Tuchel says there have been no discussions with any clubs as he considers his next move after Bayern Munich.
The Bayern boss is set to leave the German giants at the end of the season after a disappointing season which will see them finish the campaign without any silverware.
The former Chelsea boss is currently the bookmakers’ favourite to be the next Manchester United manager, with Erik ten Hag’s job very much under threat.
The Dutchman can still end the season on a high with an unlikely win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final, but if he fails to and misses out on European football, then he could be out of a job at Old Trafford.
Tuchel is likely to be in the frame if Ten Hag moves on, but he says there have been no talks so far and he has no clue where he will work next after Bayern.
‘I’ve no idea. I’ll think about things in peace,’ Tuchel said of his future. ‘Things have been clear since February. I’ll take my time. There’s been no discussions with other clubs.’
Bayern were beaten in the semi-finals of the Champions League by Real Madrid earlier this week and are third in the Bundesliga, 15 points behind Bayer Leverkusen.
Tuchel says there has been no lack of effort from his side, but could not hide the fact that the campaign has been a bad one by the club’s sky high standards.
‘I’m not a fan of public assessments. Many factors play a role in assessing a season,’ he said. ‘Personally, I’m not happy with the record.
‘When you sign for Bayern, you sign to win titles. We didn’t manage that this season. But we gave it our best shot. The fans in Madrid felt that too.’
Tuchel has two more matches in charge of Bayern, unless the club and manager perform a U-turn, hosting Wolfsburg on Sunday before going to Hoffenheim next weekend.
