Will a phone call from London end the mud fight in Bayern?

Bayern beat their rivals from Dortmund 4-2 in Saturday’s top Bundesliga game and are back at the top of the table. Still, a lot is happening behind the scenes at the German record champion.

The reason for this is the aftermath of the dismissal of Julian Nagelsmann. The top floor of Munich has been chaotic since the bus explosion a week and a half ago. The most recent episode followed this weekend.

“Who knows what would have happened then?”

While the Bayern stars were still playing for the leadership throne against Dortmund, the Nagelsmann camp spoke out for the first time on Saturday about the end of their engagement with FC Bayern Munich. And how!

In a statement to the broadcaster “Sky”, Bayern’s sports director Hasan Salihamidzic and CEO Oliver Kahn are portrayed as liars. Contrary to what “Brazzo” and Kahn have shown in recent days, it was Nagelsmann himself who had to contact his employer first after rumors of the trainer’s dismissal were leaked to the media. Only then did Nagelsmann discover his end.

In turn, Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness does not want to leave his club alone. In an interview with Kicker, the 71-year-old shoots back. According to Hoeness, Julian Nagelsmann should not have gone on holiday after the 2-1 defeat against Leverkusen just before the international break. “If he had stayed in Munich, we could have talked on Monday or Tuesday. And who knows what would have happened then?”

Millions of payments instead of a new era

As poisoned as the mood is now, Bayern’s plans for Julian Nagelsmann were once so big. Signing in the summer of 2021, the Upper Bavarian native received a contract until 2026. The coach’s future was decided, he should shape an era at the club. Last week it was even announced that Nagelsmann had bought a villa for five million euros on the chic Tegernsee just outside Munich.

The deposed coach could enjoy himself there for months, while Bayern has to transfer him the handsome monthly salary. Perhaps that is also one of the reasons for the mud-throwing that is now taking place.

Is the circle around Chelsea complete?

But a phone call from London could change that. Since Chelsea sacked their coach Graham Potter (47) on Sunday, Nagelsmann has been traded as his successor at Stamford Bridge.

A commitment would mean a belated happy ending. Bayern could immediately remove their ex-coach from the payroll and could even count on compensation. Because the contract with Nagelsmann is currently only on hold, but has not been dissolved. So Chelsea should reach an agreement with Bayern.

And for Nagelsmann it would also be an opportunity for satisfaction. He was able to prove at a new top address that his dismissal was a mistake. And that at Chelsea, note, where Nagelsmann’s Bayern successor Thomas Tuchel (49) himself was shown the door last September.

In addition, a really big football spectacle could soon take place. If Bayern (against Manchester City) and Chelsea (against Real Madrid) survive their upcoming quarter-finals in the Champions League, there would be a semi-final between Bayern and Chelsea in mid-May.
