Speaking in his first press conference ahead of the new season, Tuchel revealed why Mane had struggled following his £35 million move from Liverpool.
According to Sport1, Tuchel said: “He fell short of expectations. The competitive situation is extremely high, the starting position is not easy for him. The player knows that too, he knows my opinion and the opinion of the club.”
Mane has endured a turbulent debut season in Bavaria following his £35m move from Liverpool last summer.
The serial Bundesliga champions had hoped to lure Kane to the Allianz Arena for around £70m this week, capitalising on the fact that Spurs could lose their superstar for free next summer when his contract expires.
However, according to British media, Tottenham are primed to reject Bayern's second offer and have placed a £120m asking price on the England captain.
Still keen to land Kane now and avoid a frenzy with other clubs at the end of next season, Bayern have reportedly decided to hold a summer fire sale in the hope of strengthening their transfer kitty.
