Bayern Munich fans have started a petition to hold onto beleaguered head coach Thomas Tuchel.

The former Chelsea boss is likely to seek new opportunities, given Bayern have informed him of an end of season termination.

However, he has since led the team into the Champions League semi finals against Real Madrid.

Austria head coach Ralf Rangnick and ex-manager Hansi Flick are replacement candidates.

“FC Bayern decided to dismiss Thomas Tuchel in the summer after the defeat against VFL Bochum. What an atrocious decision!" The petition reads.

“Thomas Tuchel, also known as "Juppel," never had it easy in Munich. Despite the negative media coverage surrounding him and the personnel situation with the injury-plagued Munich team, the Champions League winner led his team to the semi-finals of the Champions League.

“With all due respect to candidates like (Unai) Emery or Rangnick, these coaches can't hold a candle to "Juppel"."
