The trip to Ibiza by some FC Bayern pros is making waves. While Hasan Salihamidzic spoke of team building, Julian Nagelsmann was probably presented with a fait accompli. The coach is said to have placed more personal responsibility on his stars.
Dhe trip to the Balearic Islands is over for the FC Bayern pros who are traveling with them, but the short trip apparently continues to cause unrest within the club.
According to a report by “Kicker”, there was also criticism from within the team about the short vacation of some Bayern professionals after the embarrassing 1: 3 against Mainz 05. Above all, Julian Nagelsmann and his team are said to have been only moderately enthusiastic about the excursion of their professionals.
According to the report, the reason for this was not only the timing of the trip, which in retrospect seemed even more unfavorable due to the record champions’ embarrassing appearance, but also the fact that Nagelsmann was only initiated into the plans by team manager Kathleen Krüger on Thursday and thus completed them facts had been established.

Hasan Salihamidzic, Munich’s sports director, had spoken of a “team-building measure”. Nagelsmann’s coaching team was surprised by the decision to approve the trip.
Nagelsmann relied on personal responsibility
In addition, according to “Kicker”, Nagelsmann and his assistant coach are said to have relied on the personal responsibility of their players and on their awareness not to plan such a trip during the season.
Even after the bankruptcy against Mainz, Nagelsmann and his team were hard on the court. “When it seems like we need to do some service and the passion isn’t there anymore, then we’re at a point where we need to change something. And that’s where we are right now,” said the Bayern coach meaningfully after the final whistle.
Next Saturday, the Munich team will meet VfB Stuttgart, who are threatened with relegation, in the Bundesliga. Bayern’s performance will probably be examined particularly intensively after the recent events.
