Kane joined Bayern on a four-year deal in August 2023. The initial transfer fee is 100 million euros (86.4 million pounds) plus additional payments. This makes him Spurs’ all-time top scorer with 280 goals in 435 appearances.

Despite his goals, Kane’s first season in Germany was disappointing, as Bayern were also eliminated from the DFB Cup by third division side Saarbrücken and lost to eventual winners Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Matthäus, who captained West Germany to victory at the 1990 World Cup, is convinced that Kane will win the trophies after Tuchel’s departure.

“In the last two years, Bayern Munich was not a family. Bayern Munich was a one-man show and that one-man show was Thomas Tuchel,” he added.

“He is a good coach, but not for Bayern Munich.”

Matthäus claimed that morale in the dressing room was low because former Chelsea manager Tuchel doubted certain players.

“That didn’t go down well in the dressing room, because if you’re (Joshua) Kimmich, if you’re (Leon) Goretzka, players who made history at Bayern Munich, who won titles, then Tuchel comes along and says he’s looking for a number six? Is he saying I’m not good enough?

“The mood was not good because everyone thought: ‘I’m not good enough for Bayern Munich anymore, but I’ve won eight titles in the last eight years, I’ve won the Champions League and I play for the German national team. What does he want?’

“That was a big problem because he didn’t give the players confidence. He lost a lot of players who were very important for Bayern Munich.”
