Julian Nagelsmann and FC Bayern – what once started so promisingly and was planned as a years-long collaboration ended unexpectedly and loudly in March last year.
After a 2-1 defeat at Leverkusen, the coach had to leave, was quickly replaced by Thomas Tuchel and subsequently faced a series of allegations. For example, he couldn’t be reached at all and went on a skiing holiday without prior arrangement.

Almost a year later, Nagelsmann, who now coaches the German national team, responded to these allegations and said something against FC Bayern. “That was simply not true. As usual, I was in the office at the training ground on Säbener Straße from Monday to Wednesday.”He told “Spiegel” about the vacation allegations.
Julian Nagelsmann shoots against Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić
The national coach followed up with a sharp tongue: “By the way, he was the only one, none of those responsible were there. I then went on a short vacation from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning. That was also approved.”
With his criticism, Nagelsmann particularly targeted his superiors at the time, Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić. “We discussed together how we wanted to deal with it in an emergency,” he recalled of agreements with the duo. “But then everything was different.”
This hit the current national coach so hard, especially because he believed he had “a good relationship” with the two. “There is a lack of openness in the business. What is communicated to the outside world after a separation has little to do with reality,” he criticized.
Oliver Kahn surprises with his Nagelsmann reaction
When asked about Nagelsmann’s statements, both Salihamidžić and Kahn remained silent to “Bild”. The latter was nevertheless quoted with a short message to the coach: “I wish him the greatest possible success at the European Championships!”
The fact that Kahn reacts so calmly to his former colleague’s accusations is quite surprising. He is said to have accepted his own dismissal in May 2023 much less lightly. At that time there were reports of a tantrum, and President Herbert Hainer later spoke of “emotional conversations,” according to “Sport Bild.”
It is possible that Kahn has now simply closed the chapter for himself. When Uli Hoeneß subsequently described the appointment of Kahn as CEO in November as a mistake, the former goalkeeper did not give a clear answer.
Nagelsmann also criticized the “Spiegel” for saying that FC Bayern’s management was too impatient with their coaches. “Jürgen Klopp was at Liverpool FC for five years before he became champion there for the first time. Pep Guardiola only won the Champions League title with Manchester City after seven years.”he referred to international competition.
The trainers in Munich, on the other hand, “don’t get that much time to develop something,” he was annoyed. This statement is more relevant than ever. Nagelsmann’s successor Thomas Tuchel was given even less time and had to leave in the summer after just 14 months.
FC Bayern and its coaches. In the end, it was anything but a success story. Julian Nagelsmann had to leave early because he was no longer good enough in the eyes of the former bosses around Oliver Kahn and Hasan Salihamidžić. Hansi Flick was in a clinch with Salihamidžić when he left Munich and Niko Kovač and Carlo Ancelotti were simply too unsuccessful for the high demands of the German record champions.
