It hasn’t been easy for Bayern Munich fans.
The club management has done everything they can to mix up the perennially successful game.
Although the team is in the middle of a ten-game winning streak in the Champions League, and had just cleared Leo Messi’s and Kylian Mbappé PSG on their way to the quarterfinals, the head coach said Julian Nagelsmann sack.
The wrong girlfriend, a ski vacation at a bad time and the fact that Thomas Tuchel had just moved to Munich.
On top of all that, Nagelsmann had to read the news about the end of his employment in the media. The club management had not even announced the matter before they had already negotiated with Tuchel.
– I don’t want to tell the coach on the phone that he will be fired. At least it’s not my style and it’s not FC Bayern’s style either, CEO Oliver Kahn raged on Sky.
The situation became awkward because Kahn’s former playing partner was the expert on the Sky channel in the interview Lothar Matthäuswho had criticized Bayern’s current spending.
– Oliver, I don’t want any personal war with you. You can call me anytime.
