The Bayern Munich medical team, led by club doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt, have resigned from their posts at the Allianz Arena.
It is believed that there were simmering tensions between Pep Guardiola and Muller-Wohlfahrt and the Bayern Munich boss was not always happy with the work of the club doctor.
He was also seen sarcastically clapping at the 72-year-old medical professional after Medhi Benatia was taken off with an injury in their German Cup match against Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month.
Things came to a head after Bayern Munich suffered a 3-1 loss at FC Porto in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final and Guardiola was not pleased that he was missing a number of key players due to injury.
Muller-Wohlfahrt has said that he and his medical team were held responsible for the result and stressed that ‘the bond of trust is damaged’.
