Nagelsmann's review: Teaches from the Bayern era and the way up!

Julian Nagelsmann looks back on his time at Bayern Munich with mixed feelings. At a trade fair in Munich, the national coach said that despite his release in March 2023, he got better out of this situation than the record champion himself. Nagelsmann, who moved from RB Leipzig to Bavaria and replaced Hansi Flick there, looks back at a time that ended with high expectations and a later drama. After only one and a half seasons and a disappointing Bundesliga season, in which Bayern lost the lead, he was released after a defeat against Bayer Leverkusen. "I think I did some things quite properly," said Nagelsmann, who cost 25 million euros when he took office, as the Leipzig boss Oliver Mintzlaff confirmed.

insights and challenges

Nagelsmann describes the challenges he met at FC Bayern. In such a large club there are "political currents" that you have to consider. "It is not easy to find the right way. Sometimes things are suddenly worthless from Monday to Tuesday," said Nagelsmann, who has learned from his time from the record champion that public opinions can fluctuate sharply. However, he regrets some decisions he made, but also sees positive aspects in his time as a trainer. In an interesting comparison, he said that his experience at Bayern had made him stronger.

For Nagelsmann, the change to the national coach was a new chance, and since September 2023 he has played back into the hearts of fans. The whole review becomes all the more remarkable when you consider that he received his release at a time when Bavaria could have been successful in all three competitions. Uli Hoeneß said critically and found that the decision to dismiss a coach in such a situation was not part of the association's self -image. Nagelsmann himself even set up a theory of his departure that the club had to struggle with a upheaval, which also burdened him as a young coach, as he did in an interview. His self -reflection and the teachings from this time could be decisive for his future as a national coach.
