Bayern Appoint Julian Nagelsmann As Next Manager
Bayern Munich have appointed Julian Nagelsmann as their next manager and have paid a significant compensation to RB Leipzig, which will break the previous record of €15 million paid by Chelsea to Porto for Andre Villas-Boas.
Nagelsmann is set to replace Hansi Flick, who asked Bayern to release him from his contract two years before its expiry date earlier in the month following a rift with sporting executive Hasan Salihamidzic over the Bundesliga champions\' transfer strategy and philosophy.
\"FC Bayern have appointed Julian Nagelsmann as their new head coach,\" a Bayern statement read. \"The Bavarian-born 33-year-old will move to Munich from RB Leipzig on July 1, 2021 ahead of the new season, signing a five-year-contract with the German record champions until June 30, 2026.\"
