Thomas Tuchel and Joshua Kimmich will probably no longer be best friends.
A discussion apparently had no effect.
What does this mean for the rest of the season?
Munich – Joshua Kimmich watched FC Bayern's renewed defeat on Sunday with a blank stare.
The Munich team lost for the third time in a row - and once again Kimmich couldn't do anything about it.
While the actual midfield boss had to languish on the bench for 60 minutes in the top game against Leverkusen, Tuchel took him off the pitch after an hour on Sunday.
New details on the Kimmich Zoff: Bayern discussion with Tuchel scheduled
Too much for Kimmich.
The 29-year-old was visibly annoyed as he walked off the pitch, and according to
Bild
information, Kimmich then shouted on the bench: “How can you take me out?” The actual leading player wants to lead the way, but is often not allowed to do so under Tuchel.
In the end, the 50-year-old probably also failed in Munich because of Kimmich.
Even before the big Tuchel explosion on Wednesday, there was said to have been a conversation between player and coach on Wednesday.
However, according to the picture
, the discussion did
not bring about a “boost in mood”.
As of summer, Thomas Tuchel will no longer be Joshua Kimmich's coach.

Kimmich cannot understand substitution in Bochum
The question remains: Can Tuchel and Kimmich pull themselves together again in the remaining weeks?
After the final whistle in Bochum, the Bayern star rushed together with assistant coach Zsolt Löw.
It is said that a scuffle almost broke out in the catacombs of the Ruhrpott Stadium, in which captain Manuel Neuer ultimately had to mediate.
According to
Bild
, Kimmich exploded after the game when Löw wanted to high-five the midfielder.
“One of you has to explain that to me,” Kimmich probably snapped in the direction of the assistant coach.
The Hungarian is actually still considered the one in the coaching team who is said to have the best connection to the Bayern star.

Kimmich and Tuchel: one last hurrah?
Kimmich's outburst of anger proves that his nerves are on edge.
Self-image and performance are too far apart.
The 29-year-old wants to face the situation and take responsibility, partly because he has to.
Not only is Kimmich no longer untouchable at Bayern, there have also been discussions in the national team for a long time about the optimal position of the leading player.
Tuchel and Kimmich: it will probably no longer become a love affair.
Nevertheless, players and coaches should pull themselves together again for the last few weeks together.
This is the only way that both Kimmich and Tuchel can ultimately look back on a season that wasn't completely messed up... (
