There’s no end in sight to the ongoing dispute between Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel and TV pundit Didi Hamann. Tuchel was clear again.

A win, but not a relief: Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel repeatedly complained on the touchline during Munich’s 3-1 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach.

On the positive side, his team left the pitch as winners after falling behind. And that Harry Kane, who has now scored 24 goals this season, is still going strong. Thomas Müller was able to celebrate his 500th competitive match win – no Bayern player has scored as many.

However, Tuchel was not only asked about the game against Gladbach after the match on Saturday.

In a pool interview with ran, Sport1 and ZDF, he spoke for the first time about the accusations following his statements during the fan club visit to Heidenheim: “A line was crossed.” And his response to TV pundit Didi Hamann’s apology was also meagre: “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 at what he made of it. That’s why it doesn’t matter if he apologizes.

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

The 50-year-old admitted on Tuesday that he had put statements in the wrong context. “I misrepresented or misinterpreted Thomas Tuchel’s statement. He did not say that he would like to train 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 were 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 if he apologizes.”

Tuchel had been criticized for his statements during a fan club visit to Heidenheim about a possible international engagement in the future. “Then he sits down there and talks about Xavi, about the succession and that he would like to train in Barcelona or Spain. That’s cheeky,” said Hamann 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: If you’re an employee of FC Bayern, messing with the management – that was rarely a good idea. “
