Bayern Munich quietly completed the change of manager, which surprised everyone: for a while last season, including this season, Nagelsmann was thought by some fans that it was time to leave. But at the time, Bayern Munich always had a firm trust in the young manager, but just before Bayern were about to embark on the crucial April fixture, Nagelsmann left class.
As early as February 22 this year, Bayern Munich famous Mateus commented that Bayern's top management gradually lost patience and support for Nagelsmann. Now, Mateus's prophecy has come true, and the reasons that prompted Nagelsmann's departure from class are summarized in three points.
Nagelsmann's crisis began at the end of January
1. Crisis after class: grades
At the end of January, Bayern Munich drew three times in a row in the Bundesliga, directly wiping out the team's advantage in the Bundesliga and starting to wrestle with a number of Bundesliga teams. As the Bundesliga hegemon, the Bundesliga champion is an untouchable bottom line for Bayern Munich, and Nagelsmann's erratic play in the league makes Bayern Munich feel that the team is losing control.
At the same time, the Bundesliga model shows that Bayern Munich cannot fall easily, otherwise it will be difficult to get up, which is a terrible thing for Bayern.
Bayern also gave Nagelsmann some support
Although Bayern Munich always gives fans a feeling of being on top, in recent years, Bayern has gradually ushered in a moment that needs to be renewed, and the risk is indeed greater at this time. In the transfer market, Bayern Munich introduced players such as Mane and Matthijs de Ligt, and although Lewandowski left, the signings were indeed not small.
In this season, Bayern Munich can only average 2.08 points per game, compared to the Bundesliga in previous years, Bayern Munich's points are very low, with the current average of points per game, you can calculate the score after 34 rounds of Bayern Munich: 70.72 points, about 71 points.
Bayern Munich has been able to get at least 78 points and win the league championship in the past ten seasons, which is Bayern Munich's troubles about league results, knowing that Dortmund may become Bayern Munich's most important competitor! And Dortmund don't have the hassle of Champions League competitions anymore.
Bayern Munich's next Devil's fixture
After the international break, Bayern Munich will play Borussia Dortmund for the first time, which may profoundly affect the final trend of the Bundesliga, followed by two games between Freiburg, who are fourth in the league, and Manchester City in the Champions League!
It can be said that Bayern's schedule in April is not only intensive (8 games in 27 days), but also the opponents are more difficult, one careless, Bayern Munich may be completely destroyed in April, all three empty! Nagelsmann faced Bayer Leverkusen, who had to be relegated at the beginning of the season, but now lost three points, and this bad situation became the last straw that crushed Bayern's top management.
2. Crisis after class: locker room
Bayern Munich have experienced a serious locker room crisis this season, perhaps more carefully last season, when Nagelsmann and Lewandowski clashed. The coming to this season was at odds with Neuer, which ended after Neuer was reimbursed for the ski season, but according to Mateus, the Neuer incident, Gnabry's participation in Fashion Week in Paris and Sane's late arrival made the atmosphere in Bayern Munich even more tense.
Bayern veterans have sensed some crisis
It can be said that for some Bayern elders, Nagelsmann seems to be a fatal wound to their age not a few years older, as early as the beginning of Nagelsmann's tenure, there were doubts about his age, but when the Bayern hierarchy supported Nagelsmann, everything could be easily solved.
However, when Nagelsmann can't deal with the locker room quickly and effectively, so that the team atmosphere cools down and unites, it will become his problem, and at the beginning of this season, Nagelsmann has gradually lost control of some veteran players, even if some players choose to wait and see for the team, they will not get close to Nagelsmann, and the pressure on Nagelsmann himself will increase.
When the control of the dressing room is gradually lost, the attitude of the Bayern top management will be sharply reversed, as Mateus said, Nagelsmann is not liked by all the top management! Bayern's defeat to Bayer Leverkusen before the international break made Bayern Munich think it was time.
3. Crisis after class: Candidates are hot
The 49-year-old German coach Thomas Tuchel will take over as Bayern's whip, marking the first time in the Bundesliga after leaving Borussia Dortmund in 2017! In these six years, Tuchel has won nine trophies, the culminating trophy being the 2020/21 Champions League trophy, and in the 19/20 season, he also led Paris Saint-Germain to the final, losing to Bayern Munich in the final.
Tuchel will lead Bayern forward
Since Thomas Tuchel left class, there have been a spate of scandals about him, including rumours that Tuchel is learning Spanish, and Tuchel is at the peak of his career and can be linked with Spain, either Barcelona or Real Madrid, and the news is more that Real Madrid want to work with Tuchel next season.
At the same time, Tottenham in the Premier League also want to cooperate with the German manager, Conte has no future in Tottenham, and Tuchel is undoubtedly a very suitable one among the current idle coaches, of course, Tuchel will not agree to it. But after all, Tottenham have invited Mourinho and Conte in a row, and no one can say that there may not be!
Tuchel's "staying around" will inevitably give Bayern Munich a sense of urgency, and cutting off the beard before the end of the season has become a "bet", Bayern is to support Tuchel and let the team fight for three titles next! A change of coach can also resolve the differences up and down Bayern Munich in one fell swoop, allowing Nagelsmann to deal with unclear problems and temporarily disappear.
Conclusion: Bayern Munich are a very stable team
In fact, compared to most of the big clubs, Bayern Munich is a very stable team, they will never easily fire a coach, since now that Nagelsmann is fired, then there must be a deeper, we do not know the hidden danger, after all, Bayern can be so stable in the past 10 years, this is not a simple matter.
Nagelsmann is temporarily unemployed
Interestingly, when the German media broke the news that Nagelsmann was out of class, Nagelsmann was still skiing with his girlfriend in Austria to relax, and when the German media kicker interviewed Nagelsmann, Bayern Munich had not yet informed him, which would also warn Bayern Munich up and down that skiing is not a correct relaxation mode, especially when you are at Bayern this club (manual funny).
In short, Bayern Munich will start again and Thomas Tuchel will soon face Pep Guardiola: the two managers have met 10 times so far, with Tuchel having three wins, one draw and six defeats, but in the most crucial Champions League final, Tuchel won 1-0 over Pep Guardiola.
As a fan, are you optimistic that Bayern Munich under Tuchel can do better than Nagelsmann?
