Thomas Tuchel lauds Eric Dier's impact at Bayern Munich

Dier, bidding farewell to his decade-long journey with Tottenham in January, embarked on a new adventure with Bayern Munich, initially on a six-month loan deal with an option to extend.

His commendable performances in both Bundesliga and Champions League fixtures have not only earned him a permanent spot in Bayern's squad but also a contract extension until next June.

Having showcased his prowess in 15 appearances, starting in 13 of them, Dier's versatility and defensive acumen have left a lasting impression on Tuchel and the coaching staff.

Tuchel, speaking highly of Dier's contributions, expressed his satisfaction, highlighting the defender's organizational skills and vocal presence, which have added a new dimension to Bayern's defensive setup.

"Eric Dier has surpassed all expectations. He's become an indispensable part of our team," Tuchel remarked during a recent press conference. 

"His organizational abilities and vocal leadership have truly elevated our defensive line. I couldn't be happier with his performance."

Despite the disappointment of losing their Bundesliga title streak, Bayern remain focused on their Champions League campaign, with a challenging semi-final tie against Real Madrid looming ahead.
