The 2022–23 season was the 124th season in the history of Bayern Munich and their 58th consecutive season in the top flight of German football. In addition to the domestic league, they participated in this season's editions of the DFB-Pokal, DFL-Supercup and UEFA Champions League.
The season was notable as it was the first since 2013–14 without Robert Lewandowski, who departed to FC Barcelona and first since 2016–17 without Niklas Süle, who departed to rivals Borussia Dortmund in the same window.
Season overview
On 24 March 2023, Thomas Tuchel was announced as the new head coach mid-season, replacing Julian Nagelsmann, who was dismissed. Four days later, the club made a formal approach to Chelsea first-team assistant coach Anthony Barry, who worked with Tuchel (primarily on set pieces) during his time at Chelsea (2021–22). Tuchel's first game, Bayern defeated rivals Borussia Dortmund 4–2 at home to leapfrog them in the league table to first. His second game was a 2–1 home defeat to Freiburg in the quarter-final match of the DFB-Pokal; the defeat meant that Bayern had failed to win the competition for three consecutive seasons for the first time in the 21st century. In Tuchel's fourth match, Bayern were defeated by Manchester City 3–0 at the Etihad in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, raising further questions regarding the board's decision to sack Nagelsmann. Later, Bayern stabilized the situation after several convincing victories in the league, including a 6–0 thrashing of Schalke 04 at the Allianz Arena. However, a 1–3 home defeat to RB Leipzig in the penultimate match jeopardized Bayern's chances of winning an 11th consecutive Bundesliga title, as they were now trailing Borussia Dortmund by two points before the final round of games. Going into the final match-day on 27 May, Dortmund needed a home win over Mainz 05 to clinch the title, irrespective of Bayern's result. However, they drew 2–2, and Jamal Musiala's late winner against 1. FC Köln sealed the 11th consecutive Bundesliga for Bayern. This was the first time since the 1999–2000 season that the title was decided on goal difference.
