- Bayern part ways with Thomas Tuchel
- Bayern set to sign Kompany from Burnley
- Nagelsmann thinks signing will be positive
WHAT HAPPENED?
Nagelsmann was one among many potential options for Bayern coming into the summer after they parted ways with Thomas Tuchel. However, after going through many options, the Bavarians have finally landed on the Burnley boss to take over at Allianz Arena, and Nagelsmann thinks the Belgian is a perfect choice for Bayern.
WHAT NAGELSMANN SAID
Speaking to the media, Nagelsmann said [via Sky Germany]: “I’ve heard that he’s a very good coach with outstanding prospects, and he has had many good coaches who trained him, so he’ll do well.
“In the end, it’s good for the club that they didn’t win the championship this time. I don’t think it’s a bad situation for a young coach who can leave his mark. Who, I think, can change more than if they had won the championship again or been extremely successful.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Bayern Munich lost out on the Bundesliga title for the first time in 11 years this season as Bayer Leverkusen won the league title. Bayern also suffered a trophyless season for the first time since 2009 which caused the Bavarians to part ways with Tuchel and look to undergo a switch in management.
WHAT NEXT FOR BAYERN?
The Bavarians will now prepare for a summer of change and preparations as they look to take on the challenge and take on Bayer Leverkusen next season for the Bundesliga.
