Julian Nagelsmann is at the bottom of the hole!

A stab in the back. Here’s how Julian Nagelsmann must certainly feel about Bayern Munich. Last night the German press, Picture in the lead, announced that the residents of the Allianz Arena were going to part with the 35-year-old technician. Recruited in 2021 to take over from Hans-Dieter Flick, the former coach of Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig was to put his mark on the Bavarian team. The Munich leaders believed in it, they who had not hesitated to sign a check for 25 M € in Leipzig to recover it and who saw him at the head of the team in the long term. But quickly, the first hiccups surfaced.

Nagelsmann heard the news in the press

His relationships with some players, including Robert Lewandowski, were rather fresh. Despite everything, he was always supported by his management. This season again, the German decision-makers have always been behind their coach. However, all was not rosy. And things got worse as the season progressed. The results in the Bundesliga, where BVB took the lead; the lack of progression of the players (young people like the stars) or even his relations with certain elements of the group including Leroy Sané, Manuel Neuer or Serge Gnabry, weighed in the balance. Moreover, the Bayern Munich locker room did not understand why Nagelsmann only spoke to Joshua Kimmich, his relay with the group.

Bayern Munich: the reasons for the surprise departure of Julian Nagelsmann

To all this, we must add that the bosses of Bayern Munich did not appreciate that the German coach went to ski in Austria during the March break while the players who were not in the selection were in training. They perceived this as a very bad signal. For all these reasons, but also because they didn’t want to miss the Thomas Tuchel opportunity, the Munich players decided to cut off Nagelsmann’s head. But it all happened behind his back. This is what explains Sports 1 who assures that the manager was unaware of the club’s intentions before it leaked to the media last night. He was immediately informed by his management, who must meet him this afternoon at the training center to formalize the news.

He is very shocked

Sports 1 explains that Nagelsmann is very surprised and even shocked by this decision. He did not feel the blow coming, especially since his management continued to support him publicly. Four days ago, President Herbert Hainer confirmed him. “We plan with him for the long term and have documented that with a five-year contract because we want to build something with him. You can see clear progress in these one and a half years.” Statements made while the leaders were already discussing with Thomas Tuchel. Sports 1 speaks of a lack of humanity from Bayern Munich, for whom the priority is performance.

Nagelsmann, who led the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League a fortnight ago, fell from a very high position. He wanted to recharge the batteries by taking a few days off in Austria in the Tyrol before the clash against BVB on April 1. But he learned in the press that he would no longer be the coach of Bayern Munich and that an agreement had been reached with Thomas Tuchel. A blow for Nagelsmann, who will not be dismissed, but released and who will receive his salary as long as he does not find another club. Thanked, like his staff moreover, the German technician, who is at the bottom of the hole, experienced a brutal and painful break with Bayern Munich, who flirted with another behind his back. A real lack of class.
