One of the most important things in an unofficial ‘book of rules’ of being a Bayern Munich coach is: in times of crisis, don’t leave the city! This season, Bayern hasn’t played well enough for high standards required in Munich, even when they recorded wins, not to mention when a draw or defeated followed. AS CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic explained, after a bad result, a player should focus on getting better the next time, and not go away from Munich on a day off. And Serge Gnabry ‘dared’ to use his day off after a draw against Leipzig in January and was criticized immediately in public by Salihamidzic.Oliver Kahn on Matthäus calling him a liar over Nagelsmann’s dismissal: “Hasan Salihamidžić and I told the truth about everyone in the process. I don’t know what Lothar says, hears or feels. After his career, Lothar became a kind of chief critic of German football” [BILD TV] pic.twitter.com/wbYa6cfKsB— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) April 2, 2023 And after a a 2-1 loss to Leverkusen, Julian Nagelsmann opted for a short holiday in Austria, rather than staying in Munich and train with footballer who were not on international duty (for example Thomas Muller). What a mistake…“Julian Nagelsmann should not have gone on a skiing holiday after the defeat in Leverkusen. If he had stayed in Munich, you would have assembled and spoken to on Monday or Tuesday. And who knows what would have happened then?” said former Bayern president Uli Hoeness to Kicker a day after new coach Thomas Tuchel defeated Dortmund 4-2.Reasons for Naglesmann’s sacking revealedAnd even thou former Chelsea manager is already appointed and won his first big game, the debate about sacking Nagelsmann is raging in media, and it’s between current and former Bayern members. Sky Sport commentator, former Bayern player and German legend Lothar Matthaus accused Kahn of failing to speak with Nagelsmann before he found out about his dismissal through the media.Brazzo criticizes Gnabry for attending the Paris Fashion WeekOff course, Kahn dismissed the accusations, saying that it’s not ‘Bayern’s way’, while Salihamidzic also confirmed that he called former coach but got no reply.“The first person we called was Julian Nagelsmann. I tried several times to reach Julian immediately after Tuchel’s commitment. At some point I called his management and then I called Julian again” explained Brazzo to Sport 1 on Saturday.’I called Tuchel and said: ‘If you don’t feel like it, hang up’Nagelsmann’s consulting agency, Sports360, meanwhile published a statement. “There was no contact and no contact attempt by Bayern. Julian Nagelsmann’s management called Hasan Salihamidzic even after the various rumours in the media”. So, Matthaus is right, at least about one thing – lying. The question is who was lying?##NAJAVA_MECA_7142677##
