Julian Nagelsmann was in charge of denying the rumors that place him as a possible successor to Hansi Flick in case the technician of the Bayern get permission to leave the Bavarian bench to become a German coach after the European Championship. During the press conference prior to RB Leipzig's match against Hoffenheim, Nagelsmann, current manager of the red bulls, was emphatic and denied having entered into negotiations with the Bayern leadership.
“There were neither nor are there any conversations with Bayern”, stressed the coach of the Saxon team during his appearance before the media. “I have no idea where Lothar (Mattäus) got this information from. It is something that, of course, also applies to my agents. They did not have any kind of conversations with the club either, “concluded the coach, thus settling all the rumors that had arisen about his future after Bayern's elimination in the Champions League.
It was the German legend Matthäus, in his role as an analyst for the television network Sky, who took it for granted as soon as the Flick team's clash in the Parc des Princes concluded that there had already been a first contact between Bayern and Nagelsmann. “There is an offer from the German federation to Flick and Bayern has already spoken with Nagelsmann about the economic”, were the words of Matthäus which Nagelsmann himself undertook to deny a day later.
