Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann dodged suspension but was handed a large fine Wednesday for “unsportsmanlike” comments made to referees after his side’s 3-2 loss at Borussia Moenchengladbach. The 50,000 euro fine, handed down by the German FA (DFB), means Nagelsmann is free to take his place on the touchline for the top-of-the-table home clash with Union Berlin on Sunday. According to the DFB, Nagelsmann has already agreed to the fine.Official: Julian Nagelsmann has been fined €50K by the DFB for his comments towards the referees after the game against Gladbach. No touchline ban. The coach has accepted the verdict and won’t appeal pic.twitter.com/ZTik5LC30b— Bayern & Germany (@iMiaSanMia) February 22, 2023 Bayern’s new setback in the Bundesliga, the loss to Monchengladbach which allowed Dortmund and Union Berlin to catch up with the Bavarians, launched a new avalanche of criticism at the expense of Julian Nagelsmann. Even the victory against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League in the middle of Paris (1:0) did not satisfy the critics, who started betting that the young coach will be fired at the end of the season. Bayern’s sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic didn’t like those critics and had a message for them throughout his Bild column.”All these discussions are unnecessary. I wish they would let our coach work in peace. Julian is Bayern’s long-term project” said Salihamidzic.Bayern’s legend about Juve and Barca scandals: I read and laughed, they wanted big money quicklyBayern’s CEO Oliver Kahn shared a similar message.”Everyone at Bayern is under constant pressure. It’s part of the club, it’s what makes it special. Julian is a person who has answered numerous challenges so far and is capable of overcoming them. We have a match against Union waiting for us, which will be the ideal stage to respond to all criticism. No one knows how to deal with situations like this better than Bayern” said Kahn.##NAJAVA_MECA_7041308##
