Bayern Munich wonderkid Joshua Kimmich says Carlo Ancelotti does 'not need to change everything' from Pep Guardiola's reign

Joshua Kimmich does not think Carlo Ancelotti needs to make drastic changes at Bayern Munich but believes the Italian has afforded his side more freedom than they had under Pep Guardiola.

Kimmich, 21, was given his Bayern debut by Guardiola and has become an important player for both club and country since bursting onto the scene a year ago.

The German starlet, who has been likened to World Cup winner and team-mate Phillip Lahm, said he was in constant communication with Guardiola last season and told ESPN FC that the Manchester City boss 'will tell you immediately if you should have done things differently'.
