It seems only a matter of time before Julian Nagelsmann can pack his bags as coach of Bayern Munich. made Thursday night BILD announced that the 35-year-old coach will leave immediately. However, an official confirmation from Bayern has not yet been received. Should Nagelsmann actually leave at the record master, then he doesn’t have to bite a stick. The German receives an exorbitant amount.
On Friday, Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic met at the Bayern training complex on Säbener Straße, but there is still no official press statement. Nagelsmann is also silent for the time being. Shortly after 1 p.m. Friday afternoon, the German trainer drove home in his Audi, where he immediately dived into the underground parking garage. Next to him was his lover Lena Wurzenberger, former journalist BILD.
Not much later, Nagelsmann’s advisors Kai Psotta and Sascha Breese also stopped by the villa of the progressive coach. Presumably the further course of action is currently being discussed. It is certain that Nagelsmann is not going through a bad time financially. The single national champion is owed a sloppy thirty million euros from the current number two in the Bundesliga, as he still had a multi-year contract and received an annual salary of nine million euros.
Trainers who are fired usually receive a predetermined severance pay, but because Nagelsmann is fired before the end of his second season, that clause does not apply to him. A special severance payment will only apply in case of dismissal after the second year of the contract. With another three-year contract, the amounts run into the tens of millions of euros for Bayern. Nagelsmann’s three assistants may ‘divide’ five million euros in the event of a possible dismissal.
Extremely painful details about Nagelsmann’s dismissal; Tuchel starts Monday
More and more details are coming out about Nagelsmann’s dismissal.
Bayern paid around 25 million euros in 2021 to loosen Nagelsmann at RB Leipzig. With an annual salary of eight to nine million euros and a long-term contract until mid-2026, both parties had every confidence in a long-term collaboration. However, the management style and communication skills are mentioned as Nagelsmann’s weaknesses. Thomas Tuchel, who was sacked at Chelsea last September, is poised to take over from Nagelsmann.
Response Kimmich
On Friday it became clear that the situation at Bayern is also a subject of discussion with the national team, as Joshua Kimmich was soon asked about the situation at his employer. “It is a hot topic and I understand that, but there is no confirmation from the club yet,” said the captain of the national team. “That’s why I hope you understand that I can’t and don’t want to say much about it. All I can say now is that Julian Nagelsmann is an excellent trainer. I’ve had a lot of top trainers, but he’s definitely in my top three.”
