JN certainly has the pedigree but it just doesn't feel right to me. All the stuff from Bayern about the difficult personality etc sounds a bit familiar to our previous lot, even Poch at the end of his time here. Levy is probably panicking after yesterday's shitshow and thinks he needs a big name again to get everyone back on side. JN may at least arouse interest from some decent players this summer which is just as well because there is literally nothing else attractive about us right now.
This narrative was put out by the Board to justify sacking a manager whilst still on for the treble. JN heard it from twitter just like us, not even face to face.
Bayern are now worse off in the league and out of both cups.

There appears to be heat everywhere at Bayern Munich.

Most of the players didn't like the fact Kahn and Salihamidžić mentioned that Nagelsmann had the dressing room against him as one of the reasons for his dismissal. The players believe they were made into scapegoats instead of the bosses clearly and honestly taking responsibility for sacking Nagelsmann.
The bosses thought the change of coach would give new impetus and ‘liberate’ the players, but that was a clear misjudgment.

Speaking to TZ, Kimmich said, "We won only 5 games out of 10. But I can say that he didn’t lose the dressing room. I’ve already been through a few coaching changes – there was nothing to indicate internally that he lost the dressing room or that players are unhappy. We all were surprised."

Of course, Kimmich has already played under a bevvy of top class managers in Pep Guardiola, Carlo Ancelotti, Jupp Heynckes, Joachim Low and Hansi Flick before playing under Nagelsmann.

"No, I didn't see it coming and I was surprised. We're second in the league, in the quarter-finals of the cup and in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Everything's still in there," the Netherlands international told NOS. "Those in charge decide who the coach is, but it was a tough pill to swallow. But I also believe that Tuchel is a coach who suits us."
De Ligt also played down talk of a dressing room riftand says he enjoyed a good relationship with Nagelsmann at Bayern.
"Ah, the German media – that says enough. I had a good relationship with the coach and his staff, so it was difficult for me," he added. "I got in touch with him, sent him a message and thanked him for everything he taught me. He really wanted me at the club and was important to me. Thanks to him, I've taken important steps in my development over the past few months."
