The control committee of the German Football Association (DFB) has started investigations against coach Julian Nagelsmann.
The DFB announced that the coach of FC Bayern Munich will be asked to comment by the control committee at the beginning of the coming week.
He is threatened with punishment by the DFB sports court.
On Saturday, Nagelsmann made disparaging remarks towards Tobias Welz's team of referees after the 3-2 defeat at Borussia Mönchengladbach.
“Is he kidding me?!” And Nagelsmann is said to have said “soft-washed pack”.
The coach complained loudly in the dressing room about the red card against Munich defender Dayot Upamecano in the 8th minute after an action that Welz rated as an emergency brake.
The former Hoffenheim and Leipzig coach pushed an apology on social media on Saturday evening: “Emotions are part of sport.
And given the red card, I had to vent after the game.
However, I have to apologize for the choice of words to the team around Tobias Welz.
Unfortunately, I clearly went too far.«
Welz himself apparently does not want to deal with Nagelsmann's verbal attack.
"I didn't notice that in any way," he said in the "double pass" at Sport1.
»If no one speaks to me directly, I don't feel addressed.
So it doesn't matter to me.
Next time we will shake hands and behave normally.”
The discussion with Nagelsmann in the dressing room "had taken place among men on an equal footing," said Welz.
Although she was "emotionally guided by one side": "But there were no insults spoken.
Everything was fine there, the way it went.« Otherwise, the following applies: »What was in the cabin stays in the cabin.«
Welz defended himself because of the red card against Upamecano.
Gladbach's Alassane Pléa was "off balance" due to the contact on the shoulder.
It is "understandable and completely okay that there are different opinions," said Welz.
