New leadership hierarchy at Bayern Munich | OneFootball

Following Thomas Müller’s departure from Bayern Munich to Vancouver Whitecaps, the leadership responsibilities within the dressing room at the Rekordmeister have been distributed across more shoulders.

As reported by Bild, in addition to Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich, two players from the team’s council, Harry Kane and summer signing Jonathan Tah will bear more responsibility, as well as Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry.

Speaking to the German outlet, Kane said: “Thomas was always a loud leader, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still have others like Josh [Kimmich], Manu [Neuer], myself, or even Serge [Gnabry] and a few others.

“When a player like him leaves, a leader like him, it puts pressure on other players to step up and be a little louder in certain areas than in the past. That’s why I think it’s a bit more spread out across the team now.

“But as you can see, we have a strong environment right now. The current team has a very good sense of togetherness. And that’s how we started the season!”

Bayern Munich’s Christoph Freund discussed dressing room atmosphere

Speaking to Bild, sporting director Christoph Freund added: “Thomas Müller is a legend.

“I don’t think replacing him one-to-one is possible. He was there for so long and had such a personality that you can’t replace. But the team lives very, very well within itself, and things are simply divided up. It’s great in the dressing room.”
