Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann became the target of threats after the elimination of his team from the Champions League. According to his statement, he received hundreds of messages on the instagram from Tuesday’s crash in the quarterfinals of the prestigious competition with Villarreal, in which he and his mother are threatened with death.
“I can handle the criticism. But the situation is different with 450 death threats on the instagram,” said Nagelsmann, whose charges in the domestic retaliation played with Villarreal only a 1: 1 draw and ended after a 0: 1 defeat in the opening duel in Spain in the Champions League. “But now he’s shooting at my mother, who has nothing to do with football and our elimination. It’s a bit wild.” added the 34-year-old coach.
After the quarter-final elimination, threats on social networks also targeted sports director Hassan Salihamidzhic and his family members. However, according to Nagelsmann, Bayern is not going to increase security measures.
