Misses out on 3M/year at Bayern, hope it’s going to work out for all involved
I’m shocked. You must really love the game if you’re letting that kind of money go.
English translation:
National coach until Euros: EVERYTHING clear today with Julian Nagelsmann | Sports
Matthias Brügelmann, Christian Falk and Walter M. Straten
The successor to Hansi Flick (58) has apparently been found!
According to BILD information, the DFB and Julian Nagelsmann (36) have agreed in principle to work together until the 2024 European Championship. Only final details still need to be clarified. The monthly salary is expected to be around 400,000 euros.
Nagelsmann’s contract with Bayern Munich will be terminated and he will move to the DFB on a free transfer. For the national coach job, he is thus waiving a lot of money. At Bayern he would have received around 20 million euros until 2026 for doing nothing. Now it’s about 4 million euros in salary until the Euros. Then he’ll be back on the market.
BILD knows: At a meeting today, the framework conditions are to be finalized and the contract finalized.
It’s not the first time Nagelsmann has waived money in favor of a sporting challenge. At FC Bayern, he immediately accepted a 15 percent reduction in his already negotiated salary with Bayern, allegedly originally around 8 million euros, so that Bayern could pay the transfer fee to Leipzig for his RB coaching staff.
Who will Nagelsmann bring to the national team this time? From the coaching staff that Nagelsmann brought to FC Bayern in 2021, one is definitely ruled out: Dino Toppmöller (42) is now head coach at Eintracht Frankfurt. As SPORT BILD reported in its Wednesday edition, Nagelsmann had already spoken with his buddy and assistant Benjamin Glück (37): Glück would not have been willing to move abroad, but a DFB commitment is said to be conceivable. There is also co-coach Xaver Zembrod (57), who has not taken a job since being released by FC Bayern. His contract in Munich is still running, but he would be available for the DFB.
Nagelsmann doesn’t have much time to turn our national team into title candidates. In October he will travel to America for international matches against the USA (14.10.) and Mexico (18.10.). In November there will be two more games. In addition to the test match against Austria in Vienna (21.11.), the DFB wants to organize a second game against Turkey in Berlin on November 18, according to BILD information. The international matches in the Euro 2024 year have not yet been determined. Currently four test matches are planned, a maximum of five if the new national coach Nagelsmann wishes.
Nagelsmann previously coached Hoffenheim, Leipzig and FC Bayern. At his last stop he had to leave in March and was replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
Flick was fired after the 1:4 against Japan. Of his last 17 games he had only been able to win four, the World Cup was over after the group stage. Now Nagelsmann follows Flick to the national team, just like he followed him at Bayern.
