Bayern Munich manager Thomas Tuchel has reacted to the supporters' petition wanting him to stay with the club for next season.

The Bavarians confirmed earlier this year that Tuchel will be leaving at the end of the season following a string of poor results in the Bundesliga.

While Bayer Leverkusen have already wrapped up the league title, Bayern are currently in the UEFA Champions League semi-final, where they will face Real Madrid.

When asked about petition, Tuchel told reporters, "Even though this topic is good for me when they [the fans] wish you to stay, it's not something that is a priority and it isn't allowed to be a priority. 

"In the next 11 days it's only about football, nothing else.

"We want to achieve all we can and to gather as many points as possible in the Bundesliga to get the best result and to reach the final of the Champions League. 

"Whether it's pleasant or unpleasant, I don't allow myself to be influenced by it. We're only focusing on every day counting towards our goals and there's no exception.”

Tuchel, meanwhile, has been linked with a return to the Premier League with Manchester United ahead of the new season.
