It’s been a year since Julian Nageslamnn left Bayern Munich. After a few months without activity, the one who was then still contractually linked to the Rerkordmeister despite the arrival of Thomas Tuchel in his place ended up finding a bench. The German federation has entrusted him with the reins of the selection for the Euro which will be played at home this summer (June 14 – July 14). If this objective is attractive on paper, the technician retains a bitter taste from his unfinished adventure in Bavaria. “I signed for Bayern with the aim of changing things. There are clubs that give you time. JĂĽrgen Klopp spent five years at Liverpool before becoming champions for the first time. Pep Guardiola only won the championship after seven years. At Bayern, coaches don’t have much time to develop something.”notes the one who remained on the bench for a little more than a season and a half.

A state of affairs which now applies to his successor. Thomas Tuchel will leave Bayern at the end of the season, also after 18 complicated months. During this long interview with Spiegel, Nagelsmann also denied going skiing during an international break. The Bavarian leaders saw it as a form of lightness while the team was going badly and decided to part ways with it after this episode. “It just wasn’t true. I was as usual in my office on Säbener Strasse (Bayern’s training center, editor’s note) from Monday to Wednesday. Besides, I was the only one, because none of the managers were there. I then continued with a short vacation from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning. This was also approved.” Truths that he had contained for a year, which made him say that “what is communicated to the outside world after a separation has little to do with reality.”
