Julian Nagelsmann fell from a great height. Recruited by Bayern Munich in 2021 to carry out a long-term project, the German technician was dismissed eighteen months later. Behind his back, the Bavarians negotiated with Thomas Tuchel. A coach with whom they quickly agreed. Nagelsmann, who was due to meet on Friday to be briefed, learned of the news in the press as a mole within the club leaked the news. He was officially relieved of his duties on Friday, he who will hit the jackpot.
Courted by Tottenham, the 35-year-old coach was very disappointed and touched by the end of his adventure at Bayern Munich. The residents of the Allianz Arena criticized him for several things, in particular his attitude, the lack of progression of the players as well as the results. His agreement with part of the locker room has also been mentioned in the German media. Indeed, Julian Nagelsmann has never been unanimous. Already last year, his relations with Robert Lewandowski were rather fresh.
Several players were not fans of Nagelsmann
This season, he has alienated several players according to Bild. At the top of the list, we find Manuel Neuer and Sven Ulreich. The latter did not appreciate the ousting of Toni Tapalovic, the goalkeeper coach. The coach was behind this dismissal because he suspected Tapalovic of leaking information. His departure was a shock for Neuer, who also chained punch interviews on the subject. Bild adds that other elements were not a fan of Nagelsmann.
Serge Gnabry, who multiplied his stays in Paris between two matches, Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala are also mentioned. More surprisingly, rookies Sadio Mané and João Cancelo, who was loaned out this winter, would not be seduced by the style of the German coach. Bild adds that Thomas Müller was rather neutral concerning the technician born in 87. The latter also had supporters including Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka, Dayot Upamecano, Matthijs de Ligt or even Benjamin Pavard. The Munich locker room was therefore very divided regarding the Nagelsmann case. It remains to be seen whether the group will agree on Thomas Tuchel.
