Can FC Bayern Munich soon introduce a new coach? National coach Julian Nagelsmann’s agent announces negotiations with FC Bayern Munich – and that the decision will follow in “five, six, seven days”.
Will a former coach return to FC Bayern Munich for the new season? A little over a year ago, Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidzic hastily chased Landsberg-born Julian Nagelsmann off the court after a defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. Now the coach is said to be Munich’s preferred candidate to succeed his successor Thomas Tuchel. Also because one thing has changed: Kahn and Salihamidzic are no longer under contract with FCB.
FC Bayern, in turn, will probably know within the next few days whether they will start the new season with Julian Nagelsmann as coach. As his advisor Volker Struth confirmed in TV presenter Sebastian Hellmann’s “Playmaker” podcast, the Munich team is currently negotiating with their former coach and current national coach. By the way, the podcast is a product of a subsidiary of Struth’s company.
Consultant announces decision in “five, six, seven days”.
The advisor even went into a little more detail: Everyone is currently asking him whether Nagelsmann will go back to FC Bayern Munich or what plans he has, Volker Struth said, according to information from Sky, in a podcast episode of “Spielmacher” that has not yet been published. and said: “That will be decided in the next few days. That will be decided soon. In the next five, six, seven days.”
The situation in Munich is as follows: The separation from current coach Thomas Tuchel – Nagelsmann’s successor at the German soccer record champions – at the end of the season has already been decided. The former preferred candidate Xabi Alonso from Bayer Leverkusen canceled the Munich team a few weeks ago, and now they have apparently chosen their ex-coach Nagelsmann as their new preferred coach. “Of course I can’t judge when Julian wants to decide what,” said club president Herbert Hainer, “as far as I know, the DFB is also interested in him.”
According to Struth, there are other interested parties besides FC Bayern
The German Football Association would in fact like to extend the contract with Nagelsmann, which was dated until the home European Championship in the summer, as quickly as possible until the 2026 World Cup. Bayern’s sporting management, with board member Max Eberl at the helm, is holding talks with several candidates. “In the end we have to see who suits us best,” said Hainer and concluded with the words: “As soon as white smoke rises, we will become something proclaim.”
Completely different words from sports director Max Eberl on the sidelines of the Champions League victory against Arsenal: “I’m not commenting on anything!” Club boss Jan-Christian Dreesen also did not want to take part in the discussions about the coach and team: “We would do well to deal with all these personal details calmly.”
And what else did Struth reveal? “It would be total nonsense to say that we don’t talk to interested parties. Without me wanting to say who the interested parties are. All I can say is that it’s not just Bayern Munich,” said Struth, according to the information. “That’s normal. That’s my job and it would be a bit of an insult to the media if they said we’re not having conversations. Of course we’re having conversations now.” Even with the old club, who would apparently have more trust in him this time.
