Former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann sheds light on the challenges faced by coaches at the club, emphasizing the limited time given for development.
Nagelsmann draws comparisons with other clubs, citing the extended managerial tenures of Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, suggesting that Bayern Munich doesn't afford similar timeframes for development.
“I was appointed at Bayern with the aim of changing things. There are clubs that give you the time.
“Jürgen Klopp was at Liverpool FC for five years until he became champion there for the first time.
“Pep Guardiola only won the Champions League title with Manchester City after seven years. The coaches at Bayern Munich don’t get that much time to develop something,” Nagelsmann told Der Spiegel.
Nagelsmann expresses concern that frequent managerial changes at Bayern hinder a coach's ability to build a long-term foundation at the club.
Reflecting on his Bayern experience, he underscores the importance of balancing personal coaching style with the club's values to avoid unnecessary attention.
Nagelsmann advocates for greater transparency in football, particularly in communication about potential coaching changes. He believes openness allows coaches to prepare and handle situations professionally, highlighting a disparity between public narratives and behind-the-scenes realities in coaching sackings.
