Bayern's Julian Nagelsmann claims he didn't demand Leipzig departure | OneFootball

Julian Nagelsmann has said that while Bayern Munich is his ‘dream’ job, he would not have had any complaints if he had stayed in charge at RB Leipzig.

When Hansi Flick announced his decision to quit as Bayern head coach last season, 34-year-old Nagelsmann was the obvious choice to step into the hot seat.

So impressed were Säbener Strasse by the Bavarian native’s work at Leipzig and Hoffenheim, they shelled out a world record managerial transfer fee of €25m to get their man.

Speaking to DAZN about the summer move, Nagelsmann insisted he had no intention of forcing his previous employer’s hand when in came to negotiations.

“I wouldn’t have been angry with anyone if I had been allowed to stay in Leipzig,” he said.

“I had a great team and a very good connection with the coaching team. We had an incredibly good spirit. There would have been much worse things than staying there.”

Nagelsmann has enjoyed an excellent start to his tenure at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern are unbeaten after their opening six Bundesliga games, and enjoyed a convincing 3-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions League.
