Julian Nagelsmann moved to FC Bayern in the summer.
Shortly before the contract was signed, his advisors had to renegotiate with FCB board member Salihamidzic.
Munich - Julian Nagelsmann has been a coach at FC Bayern since the summer.
His move from RB Leipzig to Munich was historic: never before has a club put so much money on the table for a football teacher, there was talk of a transfer fee of up to 25 million euros.
As is well known, the record champions reached an agreement with Leipzig very quickly, but apparently had to be renegotiated with the Nagelsmann side.

FC Bayern officially announced on April 27th that Nagelsmann will be the new head coach until 2026.
Curious: In the new Amazon documentary "FC Bayern - Behind the Legend", the contract will not be finalized until May 2nd.
How can that be, some Bayern fans might be wondering?
Bayern were under pressure in spring because Hansi Flick's contract termination was to be officially confirmed at the same time.
Basically, the club and Nagelsmann were already in agreement, but not on all the details.
The documentary shows a scene from May 2nd when the atmosphere on Säbener Strasse suddenly became tense.
While reviewing the contract, Nagelsmann consultants Volker Struth and Sascha Breese stumbled upon a passage that they obviously disliked.
"We have a problem now.
The passage has to be out again! "

FC Bayern: Nagelsmann consultant annoyed - has Brazzo secretly changed the contract?
“Now you've changed something again, now we have a problem.
You have added a new passage, you have to put it out again, ”said Struth angrily to FCB sports director Hasan Salihamidzic in a corridor conversation.
Brazzo first played the innocent, then renegotiations took place behind closed doors.
"We have to change the passage so that it fits both of them," explained Technical Director Marco Neppe.
"Good, some in the middle, done," Salihamidzic answered firmly.
The lawyers of both parties had to readjust again before Nagelsmann could finally put his signature on the working paper in the late afternoon.
"Congratulations!", Brazzo congratulated the new trainer, who replied, as usual, quick-witted: "Thank you, as well!"

information, it was about the apparently misleading formulation of the contractual passport, which should regulate that Nagelsmann is entitled to his outstanding salary in the event of premature separation.

FC Bayern: Salihamidzic gives Nagelsmann high credit for waiving his salary
Nagelsmann already met his new employer in order to realize his dream of the Bayern coach.
As consultant Struth recently revealed in his book, the 34-year-old waived 15 percent of his initially agreed salary.
Salihamidzic also confirmed this in the documentary.
“The club makes a lot of effort.
But Julian is totally fair, he pays the transfer fee to give the club the opportunity to pay this transfer fee.
This is really something big, ”Salihamidzic praised.
The problem was the high transfer fee for Nagelsmann.
Ex-Club Leipzig demanded around 30 million euros, the Bavarians initially assumed ten million.
In the end, the clubs apparently came to an agreement
at 20 to 25 million euros for the record coach.
