Mats Hummels has spoken out about his clash with Edin Terzic, who resigned from his position as manager of Dortmund.

Terzic recently announced that he has resigned from his position as manager of the Champions League finalist, Dortmund.

On Thursday morning, reports surfaced that Hummels and Terzic engaged in a "violent confrontation" before the Champions League final clash with Real Madrid.

Hummels criticised his manager's strategies in important matches and questioned his tactical approach.

Terzic is thought to have given an explosive interview before the Champions League final, which caused Hummels' relationship with him to rapidly deteriorate.

Hummels expressed his feelings to Bild about Terzic's approach to games against top teams in the league and Europe.

The defender said, “I was furious because I was of the opinion that Borussia Dortmund shouldn't play like that - against any opponent in the world.

“I didn't think it could go on like this. I felt insulted in my honour to stand on the pitch in that kit. So submissive, so inferior in footballing terms. 

“The two Stuttgart games and the away game in Leverkusen. That was barricading with 11 men in the box.”

The altercation led to Terzic deciding to walk away from the team and terminate his contract with the German side.
