Thomas Tuchel admitted now is not the time to make major changes to Bayern Munich as the new coach tries to keep their Treble hopes alive.
The Bundesliga giants can return to the top of the table on Saturday if they beat current leaders Dortmund, before a cup quarter-final against Freiburg and their Champions League quarter against Manchester City in their next six matches. However, they took the shock decision to sack head coach Julian Nagelsmann this week and replace him with Tuchel.
Speaking to reporters at an introductory press conference, the former Chelsea boss spoke confidently about inheriting one of the best squads in world football at a club where you are expected to win every competition you enter. However, given the gauntlet of games he is walking into, Tuchel suggested that he will not be able to put much of his own stamp on the team.

"I'd love to have a few training sessions [with everyone] but that's not going to be possible," he said. "I had a look at my schedule and the fact is I'm going to see some of the international players for the first time on Friday before the game on Saturday.
"That's part of the reason why it was so surprising because it is a very demanding part of the season so it was a surprising time to make the decision. It's not really a big time for big changes but because of that it's not a time for making huge changes to the style of play or the set-up.
"We'll change a few details of course because there's a reason the results and performances haven't been as good in recent weeks and led to this decision being made and I do have an idea of what we can do and full faith and confidence in the squad. It's not about pressure - when you sign on the dotted line with Bayern, you're expected to win all the titles possible."
