"Thomas Tuchel exactly the right man for Bayern Munich" - Leroy Sane
Leroy Sane has heaped praise on head coach Thomas Tuchel following Bayern Munich's successful summer tour of Asia.
Tuchel succeeded Julian Nagelsmann as Bayern coach in March, and steered the Bavarians to an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title on the final day of the season with a 2-1 win at Cologne.
This summer is the first in which Tuchel has had time to put his stamp on the squad, however, and after being edged 2-1 by continental treble winners Manchester City in pre-season, Bayern bounced back with wins over Kawasaki Frontale and Liverpool - the latter of which Sane scored in.
The Germany winger is relishing playing under Tuchel… and always suspected he would.

"Even before joining Bayern I heard a lot about Thomas from my two buddies in the national team, Toni Rüdiger and Ilkay Gündogan," Sane told SportBild. "They've both always raved about him, so I was very curious to see how it would be for us.
"I now know what they were talking about. Thomas is incredibly meticulous about his work and leaves as little as possible to chance. He took over at a difficult time when things were turbulent.
Sane scored the second goal in Bayern's 4-3 win over Liverpool on Wednesday, adding to the 14 he scored in all competitions last season - the final one of which came under Tuchel.
"I'm sure that we're on the right track with him and that he's exactly the right person for Bayern. I talk to him a lot. He gives me a very good feeling and I feel a lot of trust," Sane concluded.
"I know myself that I could've scored one or two more goals last season - no two ways about it."
