Julian Nagelsmann is the favorite to succeed Hansi Flick at FC Bayern.
The RB Leipzig coach met the rumors with a curious comparison.
Munich / Leipzig - The coach carousel in the Bundesliga has already picked up speed, you only have to ask Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Mönchengladbach or Borussia Dortmund.
With the announcement by Hansi Flick * on Saturday after the victory of FC Bayern * at VfL Wolfsburg (3: 2) that he wanted to leave the club in the summer *, the next spectacular change of a coach could come.
Julian Nagelsmann * has long been considered the upcoming FCB coach.
The 33-year-old was already one of the favorites on Säbener Straße after Niko Kovac was fired in November 2019 and is now being traded as a possible Flick successor.
There are also rumors that Hasan Salihamizdic is said to have discussed his financial ideas with the RB coach a few weeks ago.
Julian Nagelsman soon to be Bayern coach?
RB coach suddenly brings Lena Gercke into play
It goes without saying that Nagelsmann was asked about the rumors from Munich at the Leipzig matchday press conference before the game at 1. FC Köln, where their coach Friedhelm Funkel gave a piquant interview at the weekend *.
The RB coach wanted to take the wind out of the sails of the journalists right from the start, but it really didn't work.
“There is no new status for the last press conference,” Nagelsmann began without asking the reporter: “I have to disappoint the fans who have already placed bets.” Last week Nagelsmann announced that there was or is no contact with FC Bayern *.
But how would he react if Bayern asked him, a journalist wanted to know.
“I don't think it's the right way to make yourself more important than you are as a coach,” said Nagelsmann, then to make a strange comparison: “I can't sit down here and say that I'm going to break up with Lena Gercke * because I was never with her.
It is therefore difficult to initiate a conversation.
That is all utopia and in the future. "
Bayern: will Julian Nagelsmann be the new coach?
RB coach makes a few things clear
When asked about his supposed Munich origin and the logical step that followed as a coach of FC Bayern, Nagelsmann made a few things clear. “I'm a Landsberger and not a Munich resident. There has to be so much homeland pride ", he explained and then advertised the town west of the Bavarian capital:" There are very nice ice cream parlors there. After the Corona crisis, the tourism office will certainly be happy about some visitors there. "
When asked whether he would reject FC Bayern's request if the club would like to sign him as a coach, Nagelsmann was ignorant.
“I don't know what Bayern’s wish is.
So you have to ask, "he said, referring to his contract with RB Leipzig, which runs until 2023:" I said that I won't start a war with RB. "
