There is no end in sight to the ongoing dispute between Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel and TV expert Didi Hamann. Tuchel once again made his feelings clear.

Won, but not relieved: Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel repeatedly complained on the sidelines during Munich’s 3-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach.

On a positive note, he was able to note that his team still came away as winners after falling behind. And that Harry Kane, now with 24 goals this season, continues to perform. Thomas Müller celebrated his 500th competitive win – no Bayern pro has achieved that many.

But on Saturday, Tuchel was not only asked about the game against Gladbach after the final whistle.

For the first time, he commented on the accusations made after his statements during a visit to the fan club in Heidenheim in a pool interview with ran, Sport1, and ZDF: “A line was crossed.” And his response to TV expert Didi Hamann’s apology was also terse: “It doesn’t matter if he apologizes. I don’t believe him.”

A line was crossed. I was at a fan meeting and we were all shocked by what he made of it. That’s why it doesn’t matter at all whether he apologizes.

The feud between the Bayern coach and the TV expert, which has been going on for months, is therefore not over. Despite Didi Hamann’s apology at the beginning of the week.

The 50-year-old admitted on Tuesday that he had taken statements out of context. “I did not accurately report Thomas Tuchel’s statement or misinterpreted it. He did not say that he would like to coach in Barcelona or Spain. I would like to apologize to Thomas Tuchel and Bayern for that.”

Tuchel rejected the apology on Saturday: “I don’t buy it. The things that happened were taken completely out of context and were said deliberately. Statements were deliberately made that are not true.” For the 50-year-old, a “line was crossed. I was at a fan meeting and we were all shocked by what he made of it. That’s why it doesn’t matter at all whether he apologizes.“

Tuchel had been criticized for comments he made during a visit to a fan club in Heidenheim about a possible move abroad in the future. ”Then he sits there and talks about Xavi, about his successor and how he would like to coach in Barcelona or Spain. That’s cheeky,“ Hamann said on the talk show ‘Sky90’ on Sunday: ”He’s a very intelligent man, something like that doesn’t just slip out. But he needs to know one thing: when you’re an employee of FC Bayern, messing with the management has rarely been a good idea.”
