Julian Nagelsmann says he received 450 death threats on Instagram after the Champions League exit with FC Bayern Munich.
He gets it “actually after every game, regardless of whether we win or lose,” said the coach of the German record champions on Friday. Such messages would also be directed against his mother. That was “pretty wild,” said Nagelsmann before the Bundesliga game on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / DAZN) at Arminia Bielefeld. “Of course you can display all of this, but then I won’t be able to finish it.”
FC Bayern were eliminated after a 0-1 draw in the first leg on Tuesday with a 1-1 draw against Villarreal in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
If he sets up a chain of three, he gets more death threats than with a chain of four, Nagelsmann described the comments on the social network. In the event of a defeat, there are “another tick more” of these threats.
“I don’t give a shit, people should write what they want,” said the Bayern coach when asked how he dealt with it. “I can’t understand it.”
Some people would forget “all possible decency” and go “completely” out of their minds as soon as they turned off the television. “They still think they’re right. That’s the bizarre thing,” criticized Julian Nagelsmann.
