Joshua Kimmich, a midfielder, and head coach Thomas Tuchel reportedly no longer get along after Bayern Munich’s 3-2 loss to Bochum, according to Bild.
According to reports, Kimmich and Tuchel’s assistant Zsolt Low got into a heated disagreement at the Ruhr Stadion during the full-time whistle. This is only the most recent instance of the midfielder and Tuchel’s growing hostilities.
When Tuchel wanted to sign a defensive midfielder—a position Kimmich feels he can fill—there were already simmering problems in the background throughout the summer.
The 29-year-old had recently suffered a shoulder injury and had been training nonstop to get ready for the Leverkusen match. But Tuchel went with Leon Goretzka and Aleksander Pavlovic. Bayern would lose 3-0 and with great conviction.
Under Tuchel, his “leadership” position has also evolved. Kimmich was an important member of the coaching staff and served as a liaison between the coach and the field under former Julian Nagelsmann, but under Tuchel, that is no longer the case.
Now that everything has happened, Kimmich is thinking about leaving Bayern in the summer. A number of teams, including PSG, Manchester City, and Liverpool, have recently been connected to the midfield player.
