Bayern s honorary president Uli Hoeness added to Sky Germany : Nagelsmann is a very good choice.
Lewandowski s praise for Flick
Lewandowski will be sad to see Flick leave Bayern, though, having enjoyed a strong relationship with the 56-year-old throughout his tenure. He s not only a great coach, he s also a great person, said the Polish striker. You can also talk to him about private matters. We have achieved historic things with Hansi Flick. That was by far my best time at Bayern, he always gave us a clear plan of what to expect.
What has Nagelsmann said?
Nagelsmann has insisted that he remains fully focused on his duties at Leipzig until he officially becomes Bayern s new boss on July 1, with the DFB Pokal and Bundesliga both still up for grabs.
official website: Julian Nagelsmann stands for a new generation of trainers. Despite his young age, he has had an impressive career. We are convinced that with Julian Nagelsmann we will build on the great successes of the past few years. I would like to expressly thank Hansi Flick on behalf of FC Bayern. He took over our team in a difficult phase in 2019 and then won six titles, the seventh will hopefully follow soon. He will always have a place in the history books of FC Bayern. We wish him all the best for his future.
Future CEO Oliver Kahn added: “Julian s five-year contract alone shows how much he identifies with FC Bayern.
