Apparently, the new record man has set himself a lot.

In any case, Julian Nagelsmann's contract with FC Bayern runs until the summer of 2026 - unusually long for a coach.

On the other hand, the parties reached an agreement very quickly.

RB Leipzig receives a double-digit million amount for the departing employee, which can grow to up to 25 million euros through bonus payments.

The 33-year-old experienced the youngest days as “turbulent”.

“This morning at ten o'clock I informed the team.

But it wasn't about expressing thanks, "said the instructor:" It is common in the industry that transfer fees are also paid for coaches.

Basically, I am not afraid of it.

I am highly motivated to deliver top performance for the new club from the summer onwards. "

There was consensus on a change of location from Leipzig to Munich during the course of Monday. He had previously discussed his request for a change with CEO Oliver Mintzlaff in a few rounds of talks. “We had a good, in-depth conversation in which I stated my wish, if the concrete offer comes, to be allowed to switch to FC Bayern. The approval was not given immediately, but everyone was allowed to think about it for a long time, ”explained Nagelsmann. “On Sunday evening I had the final details to clarify with Bayern and things between the clubs during yesterday's day. I am glad that the change is coming about. I would like to thank Oli for the good discussions and the agreement. "

“Basically, the change was not planned after two years,” the coach admitted.

“A lot plays a role here, the development at Bayern with Hansi was not predictable.

There were also requests from other clubs.

I didn't want to quit my job here, but only for this one club.

The overall package is simply something special. "

A view of things that Mintzlaff shared.

“It was a situation that we basically did not want.

Julian approached me with the wish to fulfill a lifelong dream, ”said the CEO.

“We thought that Julian's journey did not end here.

FC Bayern then decided to meet our demands.

Of course we're not there to make dreams come true.

Nonetheless, we are humans and not machines here. "

One had to weigh up how much sense it would have made to cling to Nagelsmann.

“We have come to believe that this is the best solution for us,” said Mintzlaff.

"We are still on attack mode, it will not be the case that we are scaling down our ambitions."

The RB boss expressly did not want to deny the rumored transfer fee.
