Bayern Munich midfielder Kimmich slams board over double sacking

Bayern Munich midfielder Joshua Kimmich has hit out at the board after their successful title triumph on Saturday.

Hours before Bayern's dramatic final day championship victory, the board sacked chief exec Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

The players only learned of their dismissal after the game as they celebrated.

Kimmich admits the news took some of the joy from the triumph, stating: "Regardless of how you evaluate it, the club could have waited 2-3 days to announce it.

"If you win the league and then get a message like this, you're on a roller coaster of emotion."
