Revealed: Struggling Thomas Tuchel has failed to connect with Harry Kane's Bayern Munich team-mates - Joshua Kimmich relationship 'broken'

Bayern Munich suffered their third defeat on the trot on Sunday as they shockingly went down 3-2 against VFL Bochum in the Bundesliga. This was the club's fourth loss in the league this season as they find themselves eight points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen.

According to The Athletic, manager Tuchel has failed to connect with Kane and Co. which has played an important role in the team's poor form this season. A senior member of Bayern’s leadership told the media house that not only did the German manager fail to create a bond with his players, but he at times has even undermined them publicly.

There have also been rumours of Joshua Kimmich's deteriorating relationship with his manager. The midfielder was visibly furious during Sunday's clash after Tuchel subbed him off. Kimmich was seen exchanging angry words with assistant coach Zsolt Low.

The BILD reports that Kimmich has felt snubbed by the Bayern boss this season as he has often preferred fielding Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic over him.

The reigning champions will aim to get back to winning ways and reduce their gap with Leverkusen on Saturday as they take on RB Leipzig in a difficult Bundesliga fixture.
