Julian Nagelsmann, 33, will move from RB Leipzig on a five-year contract to coach Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich has hired RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann to replace the departing Hansi Flick starting next season. The reigning German champions announced on Tuesday that the 33-year-old Nagelsmann will move to Bayern on July 1 with a contract that runs through 2026. Bayern said it agreed to terminate Flick’s contract after he asked to be released early, after his relationship with the club’s powerful sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic has deteriorated over transfer policy. “The position at FC Bayern is a unique opportunity for me. I would therefore like to thank Oliver Mintzlaff and the rest of the board at RB Leipzig for finding a solution with FC Bayern and making this possible for me,” Nagelsmann said.More Related News
