Bayern Medical team resigns after Porto Defeat!

Bayern's medical team resigns after Porto defeat!

FC Bayern Munich's entire medical team including head surgeon Dr Hans Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt has resigned after his relationship with current Bayern coach Pep Guardiola reached a nadir.

A statement from Muller-Wohlfahrt read: 'After the Champions League match of Bayern Munich against Porto the medical department was for some inexplicable reason made primarily responsible. The bond of trust is damaged.'

And on Friday morning, the club released the following statement: 'FC Bayern Munich notes with regret the decision of chief medical officer Dr Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt (72) to resign his medical duties at the club.

'Dr Muller-Wohlfahrt in particular, but also his team, have performed first-class work for the club and its players over the years. Our sincere thanks are due for this.

Media director Markus Horwick said: 'We have no knowledge of this release, so we can not comment.'

'FC Bayern will shortly announce new arrangements for the club’s medical unit. Until then Dr Volker Braun, sports physician and consulting physician in trauma surgery and orthopaedics, will support the FC Bayern team at matches.'

Müller-Wohlfahrt has been at Bayern for almost 40 years since 1977. He is a pioneer in world of sports medical science and has helped many stars across various sports in recovering from career threatening injuries.

The main reason for this breakup is Guardiola's clapping gesture in Bundesliga game when Mehdi Benatia got injured and he made a sarcastic clapping gesture at his bench.

Pep defended himself and said his players were in very bad shape for the match.

'We have players who were out a long time with injuries,' he said. 'Their legs don't last very long. It's a tough result to take into the second leg, but we'll give it a go.'
