Bayern Munich sports chief Hasan Salihamidzic says there's no panic over Thomas Tuchel's initial struggles.

The former Chelsea manager has failed to get the players to respond since taking charge after the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann.

However, Salihamidzic insists Tuchel will need time to bed down his ideas.

He explained, "To fire (Julian) Nagelsmann? We looked at it for a long time and we came to the conclusion that we had to act.

"Thomas Tuchel needs the pre-season with the team, then everything will be better."
