Nagelsmann's girlfriend Lena Wurzenberger word for German media outlet BILD, although reports claim she stepped down from covering Bayern when the two started dating.
Former Bayern defender Markus Babbel claims the players felt uneasy about talking in the dressing room.
"I know that Nagelsmann's relationship with a BILD reporter was a huge topic in the dressing room," Markus Babbel told Blick.
"It didn't go down well at all that he was with her. His girlfriend was therefore a big problem for Bayern.
"There was a lack of trust because some players just weren't able to communicate what they were thinking anymore. Because they were afraid that everything would end up in the newspaper."
Tuchel's first game in charge for Bayern will be against Bundesliga leaders and his former side Borussia Dortmund.
