Bayern Munich experienced their third consecutive defeat on Sunday, suffering a surprising 3-2 loss against VFL Bochum in the Bundesliga. This marked the club’s fourth league defeat of the season, leaving them trailing league leaders Bayer Leverkusen by eight points.

As per The Athletic, manager Tuchel’s inability to establish rapport with Kane and the team has significantly contributed to their poor performance this season. A high-ranking member of Bayern’s leadership informed the media outlet that not only has the German coach failed to foster a connection with his players, but he has also occasionally publicly undermined them.

Rumors have circulated regarding Joshua Kimmich’s strained relationship with his manager. During Sunday’s match, the midfielder displayed visible frustration after being substituted by Tuchel. Kimmich was observed engaging in heated exchanges with assistant coach Zsolt Low.

According to BILD, Kimmich has felt neglected by the Bayern boss this season, as Tuchel has often favored fielding Leon Goretzka and Aleksandar Pavlovic over him.

The reigning champions will aim to bounce back and narrow the gap with Leverkusen on Saturday when they face RB Leipzig in a challenging Bundesliga fixture.
