Bayern Munich manager, Thomas Tuchel has been in the news lately for his unusual way of attempting to make Sadio Mane feel at ease after the Senegal forward’s recent troubles in Germany.
This season has been a tough one for Liverpool forward Sadio Mane. The Senegalese international has had to battle with form and fitness issues, and his frustration was evident after he was suspended for one game for punching teammate Leroy Sane following a Champions League game.
But Mane’s troubles did not end there. According to a report by Goal, Liverpool’s former manager Thomas Tuchel left Mane feeling humiliated during training by pulling down his shorts.
The incident must have been embarrassing for the 31-year-old forward, who has been one of Liverpool’s key players in recent years.
Despite Mane’s struggles this season, Liverpool’s manager Jurgen Klopp has shown faith in him, and he has continued to feature prominently in the team’s line-up.
As the Reds look to finish the season strongly and secure a top-four spot in the Premier League, Mane will need to put his troubles behind him and focus on his football.
Despite joining the Bavarians last summer, Mane’s future at Bayern Munich remains uncertain, with the Bundesliga champions reportedly set on selling the forward after just one season in Germany.
Mauricio Pochettino has even discussed the possibility of signing the unsettled Bayern Munich striker if he decides to take over the Chelsea job next season, as reported by Tribal Football.
