Uli Hoeness, honorary president of Bayern, also commented on the contours of Julian Nagelsmann’s departure.
It is recalled that the 34-year-old coach was surprised by the news of his dismissal from Bayern Munich while skiing at a resort in Austria. He was spending a few days on vacation in Zillertal to take advantage of the break in the Bundesliga for the national teams and was urgently called to Munich on Friday, March 24th, after information leaked the day before that he was going to leave and Thomas Tuchel take his place as early as Monday.
«I shouldn’t have gone on a skiing holiday right after the defeat in Leverkusen (1-2). If he had stayed in Munich, perhaps we would have met on Monday or Tuesday. And who knows what would have happened then? », he said. For Hoeness, the defeat and departure of the coach from the country precipitated the decision.
Also the fact that some players like Thomas Muller stayed in Munich during the break, and he could take the opportunity to train those he had available. But why didn’t they stop Nagelsmann from taking a vacation? “Maybe they didn’t know. A coach doesn’t need to ask to take a few days off.”
