Thomas Tuchel insists he will give everything to Bayern Munich ahead of his departure in the summer and hopes the decision over his future allows the team to play with "freedom".
Tuchel has been unable to arrest a downturn in form and speculation over his position came to a head this week when the club announced he would be leaving at the end of the current campaign.
Tomorrow's game against RB Leipzig will be his first in charge since the news became public, with Bayern looking to end a three-game losing streak following losses to Bayer Leverkusen, Lazio and Bochum.
And while there is a possibility Tuchel could be seen as a lame duck coach over the coming months, he thinks the removal of uncertainty over his role could spark an upturn.
The German coach said: "I view it professionally and unemotionally. It's a professional sport at the highest level.
"There aren't guilty individuals. I don't think I'm the only problem, but I have responsibility. Now we have a new situation, it's resolved, which hopefully makes it clear and brings freedom.
"This job only works if I give 100 per cent of myself. I have a very high professional expectation of myself and that's completely dedicated to Bayern Munich until the end of the season.
"We have aims. We're going for the maximum in the league and won’t give up until it's over. In the Champions League we still have a second leg [against Lazio], so we are playing for maximum success."
Tuchel resisted the temptation to divert blame away from himself and on to his players, but accepted performance levels had been falling consistently short of expectations.
He added: "The management know my analysis, which is also very self-critical. But it's definitely not an analysis for the public.
"I'm not personally disappointed in the players. We have high standards, that won't change.
"I've never had the feeling that there's a big problem but there is a glaring discrepancy between the way we're training and the way we're playing.
"We've trained at a good level but that's no guarantee that we'll produce a good performance."
