Hansi Flick admits he is fighting for his future at Bayern Munich as he battles to make a case to stay in charge of the first team.
After starting with four impressive wins, Bayern head into Wednesday's Champions League final group game against Tottenham on the back of two straight Bundesliga defeats.
Those losses, to Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach, have come despite strong performances from Bayern, who have four games remaining before the Bundesliga's mid-season break.
Yet Flick knows results are all-important, and he said: "Of course, if I want to stay on then I have to win the next couple of games. But I want to win those four games one way or another.
"There are four games left; anything is possible. We're going to sit down with the officials after the Wolfsburg game ... after the last game [before Christmas]."
Flick said the 2-1 defeat to Gladbach on Saturday was "really, really annoying", with Bayern gifting away a late penalty, yet he is looking to stay level-headed.
"I didn't run laps around the stadium and across the pitch after the first four wins, so I'm not going to go crazy now," Flick said at a news conference.
"The team has fantastic quality and we want to keep showing that, and then of course score goals as well."
Star striker Robert Lewandowski has not netted in the last two games, after a four-goal haul against Red Star Belgrade in a 6-0 Champions League away win.
"We have plenty of players who can score, and players who have to step up and should step up and take responsibility," Flick said.
"Of course he's an important player for us, but I don't think we're totally dependent on his goals that would be too easy."
