Lothar Matthäus has severely criticized the bosses of FC Bayern Munich for their communication about the release of coach Julian Nagelsmann.
In his column for the TV channel “Sky”, the record national player wrote that he was certain that the coach was “caught cold” when he was kicked out. “From Nagelsmann’s point of view, I think it’s much worse that Uli Hoeneß, Herbert Hainer, Hasan Salihamidzic and Oliver Kahn have praised their coach so much in recent weeks in a way I’ve never seen in favor of a head coach in Munich,” the 62-year-old continued. “And then they throw him out.”
Criticism that Matthäus specified on Tuesday as an “RTL” expert: “They always say in Bavaria: I’m no longer interested in yesterday’s rubbish. But if all four say that, it has weight for me. That’s why this leave of absence came surprised.”
You can fire a coach, “but I didn’t like the way I was used to from FC Bayern when Uli Hoeneß or Karl-Heinz Rummenigge were at the helm.”
Tuchel “the perfect solution” for FC Bayern
Matthew, on the other hand, can understand the motives. The fact that one sees the extremely high goals in danger and reacts is professional. Getting a successor like Thomas Tuchel, who may only be available for a few weeks, is understandable and correct.
“But I don’t think it’s okay to call an employee a long-term project a few days ago and then fire him, and it also has something to do with credibility.” The familiar, protective something that distinguishes this club from many others is no longer there. “The “Mia san mia” is sometimes trampled on,” reprimanded Matthäus.
However, Tuchel is “the perfect solution for FC Bayern, not just for the game on Saturday but for the years to come,” said the 1990 world champion. He has had great success and is popular with the players.
