Is immediately before Bayern-Aus
After the consistent reports that Julian Nagelsmann was about to leave, Joshua Kimmich expressed the greatest appreciation for the work of his current coach. “The decision hasn’t been made, so I won’t say anything about it. I can only say that Julian Nagelsmann is an outstanding coach. I would say he’s easily in the top 3 of my best coaches,” Kimmich said on Friday in Frankfurt/Main.
Of course, such discussions would also concern him in the national team, said Kimmich. According to reports, FC Bayern is parting ways with Nagelsmann. Former Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel is to be his successor. The German record champions have not yet officially confirmed this.
According to Hansi Flick, the development in Munich, which also surprised him, also has an impact on the Munich professionals in the national team. “It’s not going to inspire everyone. Still, it’s my job to talk to all the players – I’ve already done that. Now we have to wait and see what really comes out in the end,” explained the national coach.
The former Bayern coach Flick, who triumphed with the record champions in the Champions League and won seven titles, was “very surprised” by the “headlines”. “But Bayern didn’t comment, out of respect for Julian and Bayern, I don’t want to say anything more,” said Flick. At that time he had succeeded Niko Kovac and celebrated great success with the club.

Kimmich was reluctant to start the press conference. “In general, it’s totally understandable that it’s a hot topic. On the other hand, there was no confirmation from the club,” emphasized the midfielder. “That’s why I hope you understand that I can’t and won’t say much about it.” Kimmich is one of the managers at FC Bayern, he wore the captain’s armband several times this year. Besides him, Leon Goretzka and Serge Gnabry are with the national team.
