Julian Nagelsmann underestimated the job at Bayern Munich, according to Felix Magath. “The last coach before Thomas Tuchel was signed didn’t fully internalize what he did when he went to Bayern Munich,” Magath said in an interview with “Sport Bild”.
“He’s young, he apparently believed: Hoffenheim, Leipzig and Bayern are all in one league. But that’s not the case. Bayern is firmly established in world football. That’s why the approach was not appropriate for the club and the situation,” said the 69-year-old, who twice won the double of the championship and the DFB Cup as Bayern coach.
Magath was particularly critical of the time after the World Cup, which ended shortly before Christmas. “It’s clear that something didn’t get right after the winter break. There were difficulties keeping the team happy,” said Magath. “For me, the team wasn’t managed well enough and, viewed from the outside, after the World Cup it wasn’t with the necessary fitness and discipline.” (dpa)
