Former Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick has revealed how Thomas Muller used to annoy him.
Flick has left the Bavarians after a season-and-a-half and will manage the German national side after the European Championship.
Flick was the one who brought Muller back into the side after he fell down the pecking order under previous coach Niko Kovac.
"Thomas is a phenomenon for me," he told Bayern's official website.
"He doesn't always get everything right in the game, but he brings you significantly more moments of joy as a coach than moments when you're upset about him - for example, when he goes out to the corner when he shouldn't, loses the ball, and a counterattack emerges.
"Sometimes I almost have to laugh and have the feeling that he does this on purpose to annoy me a little and get the adrenaline going again, but he means so much for the team and this club, there will never be anyone like him again. What he has achieved in his career is unique. On top of that he is incredibly down to earth and a really good guy."
