BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayern Munich's four-game winless run -- their longest in the Bundesliga in 20 years -- has soured the mood among club bosses and piled pressure on coach Julian Nagelsmann to quickly turn things around.
With the Klassiker at Borussia Dortmund awaiting next week, fifth-placed Bayern, whose last win was in August and who are five points off top spot, will have their backs to the wall on Friday at home to fellow Champions League club Bayer Leverkusen.
The 35-year-old Nagelsmann, in his second season at Bayern, still enjoys the full backing of the board. Nagelsmann landed one trophy last term, their 10th straight league crown, but his team was bundled out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals by Villarreal.
