Following a below-par start to the 2022/23 campaign, reports suggest that Bayern Munich stars are unhappy with head coach Julian Nagelsmann, with three main issues with their manager having been stated.

Despite making a brilliant start to their UEFA Champions League campaign this season, the Bavarian giants have struggled domestically by their high standards.
Die Roten are currently in third position in the Bundesliga, four points off table-toppers Union Berlin, and this has been a cause for concern within the club's ranks, especially among the players, who reportedly have a trio of issues with the man currently leading them, Nagelsmann.
According to Bild, the players are concerned about the lack of successful reactions to in-game situations. Despite being ahead twice in the past weekend's Der Klassiker, Borussia Dortmund were able to come back twice, with the second equaliser being a last-gasp header by Anthony Modeste to seal a 2-2 draw.
The players are also said to feel that Nagelsmann makes inexplicable substitutions and tactical changes during matches.
In the aforementioned game, he swapped Alphonso Davis and Marcel Sabitzer for Kingsley Coman and Joshua Kimmich, none of whom are left-backs. While these attacking substitutions did help them regain the lead in the second half, the lack of defensive reinforcement led to the second goal they conceded.
The last issue the players are believed to have is with the German tactician's demeanour on the touchline. The consensus thought to be among the squad is that he runs a one-man show and lets his emotions show a bit too much both in games as well as in the dressing room in the way he motivates the team.
