Nagelsmann counted as Bayern coach? Successor is ready
Update from September 21, 12:44 p.m.: The tree is burning at FC Bayern after last Saturday’s 1-0 defeat. Julian Nagelsmann’s squad are doing great in the Champions League, but in the Bundesliga the record champions are already five points behind first place and have been waiting for a win for four games.
Coach Nagelsmann was very thin-skinned on the PK after the FCA bankruptcy, he seems counted. In keeping with this, the name Thomas Tuchel is increasingly haunting Säbener Straße. The ex-Chelsea coach is currently without a club and would be ready if things didn’t go better with Nagelsmann at Bayern in the coming weeks.
Hasan Salihamidzic already met with Tuchel in 2018 and would have liked to have brought him as a Bayern coach. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge also spoke out clearly in favor of Tuchel internally at the time. In the end, however, Uli Hoeneß prevailed and Niko Kovac took over. The wrong decision, as has long since turned out. Now Tuchel, who became CL winner with Chelsea in 2021, would be available again.
Trouble at FC Bayern: Coach Nagelsmann criticizes the team and speaks of “chicken piles”
First report from September 21, 12 noon: Munich – The mood at FC Bayern is more than tense these days. The 0:1 at FC Augsburg on Saturday was the pinnacle of undesirable developments in the last Bundesliga games. That’s why “Krisn” is currently on Säbener Straße instead of Wiesn.
The press conference of Julian Nagelsmann after the Augsburg game was memorable and showed that there is a lot going on at Bayern at the moment. Apparently there was a cabin spat after the 2-2 win against VfB Stuttgart the week before. the sports picture reports that coach Nagelsmann heavily criticized his team after the last-minute draw and called it a “chicken pile”.
What was meant was the tactical behavior against the Swabians. This choice of words was apparently not well received by the stars, because it was Nagelsmann himself who caused some chaos with his mega-rotation (six changes).

On Saturday after the defeat at FCA, Nagelsmann and his lads are said to have immediately started working on the game. The coach is said to have shown video material immediately after the end of the game with scenes in which he was not satisfied. Above all, the many chances to score that were not consistently played to the end and the unfocused passing game in the last third caught Nagelsmann’s eye.
On Sunday, the coach met with the team council to address the mistakes again. Nagelsmann also wanted von Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich and Co know where the problems come from. Sports director Hasan Salihamidzic was also part of the game. Whether and what things will change will only be known in ten days, because 18 stars are now with their national teams.
On September 30th, Munich will continue in the league against Bayer Leverkusen. Then you will see if the problems could be solved. If not, things could get even more uncomfortable for Nagelsmann. (smk)
