Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic publicly rounded on their club's players following a dire defeat by Bayer Leverkusen.
It has been a seriously disappointing domestic campaign for Nagelsmann's men and they find themselves one point behind Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga title race. Two second-half penalties from Exequiel Palacios were their downfall against Leverkusen on Sunday evening despite Joshua Kimmich giving Bayern the lead before the interval.
It was only their third defeat of the Bundesliga season, but seven draws have allowed Dortmund to pull ahead. Nagelsmann is highly-regarded in coaching circles but he has failed to impress since replacing Hansi Flick nearly two years ago.
