Julian Nagelsmann and the German football federation announced a few days ago that they are extending their commitment to continue together. The coach ended his contract with the national team after this summer’s Euro Cup and finally extended it until the end of the 2026 World Cup In this attempt, the loser was Bayern Munich who tried without success to lure the 36-year-old -old German.
German football legend and now football analyst Löthar Matthaus spoke about this aspect, understanding Nagelsmann’s decision to renew his contract in Germany and criticizing Bayern for leaving the coach. “I would have liked to see the coach return to Bayern Munich, but I understand his decision.”
Matthaus understands that “he wants to play a great European Championship with euphoria in the country and in the team and then bring with him the great experience of a World Cup. I understand this and I think it is incredible that he will continue to be our national coach,” he told ‘Sky Sports. ‘. Now, what he doesn’t share is Bayern’s decision to fire him.
“As head of Bayern, I wouldn’t have fired Nagelsmann” twelve and a half months ago, he said, criticizing that the Munich club “left him too often.” Nagelsmann’s decision to join the DFB probably also had something to do with the thinking of many Munich residents: “Not everyone fully supports Julian. And he probably knows it.”
Matthaus believes that the favorites on the Bayern Munich bench “are Ralf Rangnick (current Austrian coach) and Roger Schmidt (Benfica) if they want to bring in a German coach. But if language is not a priority, I choose Unai Emery” .
