Premier League: Declan Rice, Guardiola’s most expensive setback
Bayern Munich has changed coach since last Thursday. A news that has taken everyone by surprise, even if it can be justified by the mismanagement that Julian Nagelsmann has made of his own dressing room that he can not control. This is also what would have been the reason for his departure from the German club, and the enthronement of Thomas Tuchel.
Sadio Mané was signed last summer to strengthen the staff of Bayern Munich. And if everyone expected a lot from him, the Senegalese is not yet up to expectations. The truth is that he struggles to get into step with a squad already very rich in top players. Thus, the African decided to make a place in the group, but the current with Julian Nagelsmann did not pass very well, which made the two men had a violent argument that sounded the end of the relationship between the player and his coach.
Indeed, Bild mentioned an argument with the Senegalese striker, a big recruit of Bayern Munich during the summer mercato, as a trigger for the sacking of the German coach, which occurred last Thursday. According to the media, Sadio Mané would have lost his temper in the dressing room, reproaching Nagelsmann for having given him only eight minutes during the second leg of the Champions League against PSG.
According to media reports, the other players were in the dressing room at the time of the scene. And when they realized what was happening, Nagelsmann himself had been intimidated by Mané’s outburst and was embarrassed in front of his team. This was interpreted by the players as a loss of authority, especially when he included the former Liverpool player in the starting lineup for the upcoming league match against Augsburg, a decision that, according to the players, was a direct consequence of the African striker’s outburst.
In addition, the German club officials want to avoid further dissension between the staff and the coach. And this is what triggered the dismissal of Nagelsmann. Thus, by taking Thomas Tuchel at the head of the team, CEO Oliver Kahn and sports director Hasan Salihamidzic sought to avoid new altercations of this type.
