Yeah, plus he's also "failed" for the first time in his career, and on the biggest stage. After years of non-stop upward trajectory and being anointed as the golden boy of German management, being kicked out of Bayern might really hurt him - especially given he wasn't expecting it.Have no real take on Nagelsmann's season (I do know his sacking of the goalkeeping coach was very unpopular) but, aside from whether he'd actually want to be here, have any managers succeeded in a job taken immediately after a sacking? Management is an incredibly draining thing and to be sacked is quite chastening: I can imagine you need some time to decompress and evaluate what went wrong.
People react in different ways so, who knows, maybe he'll want to jump straight back on the wagon? But I wouldn't be remotely surprised if he at least waited until the summer to take a break, lick his wounds and think carefully about his next step.
