The chapter Julian Nagelsmann at FC Bayern ends after less than two years. TV expert Dietmar Hamann was surprised at the time of the decision, but was able to understand it.
According to media reports, FC Bayern released their head coach Julian Nagelsmann in the middle of the international match phase and only a few days before the top game against BVB. However, the record champions have not yet officially confirmed the decision, on Friday afternoon the 35-year-old is expected to meet the club bosses on Säbener Straße.
“The timing was surprising,” ex-national player Dietmar Hamann pointed out in an interview with “Sky”.
Nevertheless, the TV expert found some reasons for the young coach’s release. In the past few weeks there have been “constant voices” about FC Bayern that expressed dissatisfaction with Nagelsmann. However, Hamann explained: “After the Paris games, I thought that the coach was capable of surviving against Manchester City in the Champions League.”
Bayern stars didn’t go into the fire for Nagelsmann?
Nagelsmann ultimately “got too bogged down in details over the 18 months and overlooked the big picture”. At Bayern, it is also “depending on the freedom” that the players are given. “If you try to force something on them, something is lost. He’s lost in tactics.”
Great coaches at FC Bayern have managed to form a unit in the past. “I never had the feeling that the players went into the fire for the coach. In the 18 months he hasn’t managed to build the connection to the players that is needed,” said the 49-year-old. However, Joshua Kimmich had emphasized on the DFB-PK on Friday how important Julian Nagelsmann was to him. “He’s an outstanding coach,” said the Bayern star.
According to Dietmar Hamann, the head coach could have stumbled over the high “demands” at FC Bayern due to the many reinforcements in the squad in recent years. “It’s probably the best squad in Europe”.
