Tuchel would support Bundesliga title play-offs

Borussia Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel would support the introduction of play-offs for the Bundesliga title.

Dortmund won back-to-back championships in 2011 and 2012, but Bayern Munich have once again asserted their dominance in Germany, topping the pile in each of the past four seasons.

The Bavarian giants have won their opening three matches of the current campaign with an aggregate score of 11-1, with former German Football League (DFL) president and Bayer Leverkusen chief executive Wolfgang Holzhauser telling Kicker on Monday that championship play-offs were “more relevant than ever”.

Asked for his opinion on the idea, Tuchel said: “Why not? It would give the runners-up, third and fourth the chance to be champion.

“I do not think play-offs are far-fetched. I am basically very open to rule changes.”

Dortmund made a number of changes to their line-up, but ran out 6-0 winners over Darmstadt on Saturday, following on from a victory by the same scoreline over Legia Warsaw in the Champions League last Wednesday.

Tuchel expects to have the majority of his players available for Tuesday’s trip to Wolfsburg, but Andre Schurrle is likely to miss a return to his former club with a knee issue while Sven Bender remains sidelined.
