Bayern Munich bosses are 'irritated' by Thomas Tuchel - which suggests Harry Kane could already be set for a new manager at the Allianz Arena.

The German giants spent a massive £100million in order to acquire the 30-year-old striker, who touched down from Tottenham last month.


Results-wise, Bayern have done well - winning their first three Bundesliga matches.

Yet BILD say Tuchel is 'irritating' the management team of the reigning champions with his 'erratic' behaviour.

It's claimed Kane wasn't the priority for Tuchel earlier in the summer - with the former Chelsea boss preferring for the club to recruit Declan Rice from Arsenal.

That didn't happen, however, with Rice moving to Arsenal from West Ham instead.

Tuchel has been moaning recently, saying the Bayern squad is 'a bit thin' and 'a bit small' after his side's 2-1 win over Borussia Monchengladbach over the weekend.

And his 'repeated negative statements' have irked Bayern's management team as a result.

The report also says Tuchel's behaviour in the summer was 'erratic'.

Bayern chiefs felt the 50-year-old was trying to be 'too creative' as he looked to strengthen his squad.

Their management team supposedly thought that Tuchel wanted a fresh No 6 more than Kane, even if they eventually opted to bring in the England international.

Bayern did try to recruit Joao Palinha from Fulham following the midfielder's fine performances at Craven Cottage last season.

Palinha travelled on transfer deadline day and posed in a Bayern shirt.

But the move fell through at the 11th hour and the midfielder is now poised to stay in west London until January at the earliest.

Tuchel also clashed with Bayern over signing a new defender as well.

He wanted to land Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea, having previously managed the 24-year-old during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Yet despite calling Chalobah, Tuchel was left disappointed with Bayern chiefs opting against securing the player's signature.

Bayern bosses also reportedly hoped Tuchel would be 'more clear' about the profile of goalkeeper he was looking for.

With Manuel Neuer injured, Tuchel proposed the likes of Bono, Kepa Arrizabalaga and Robert Sanchez.

In the end, Bayern signed Daniel Peretz from Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Though the German giants are winning these days, there seems to be trouble brewing behind the scenes.

And given how chaotic Bayern have been over the past year, it's not entirely unfeasible that Tuchel could lose his job.

The Bundesliga champions sacked Julian Nagelsmann earlier this year despite the 36-year-old's side being in contention for the treble at the time.

Bayern insists they're ready to stand by Tuchel but, with tensions running high, Kane could yet be destined for a new boss so soon into his German adventure.
