Even though Bayern have achieved their minimum goal this season with their tenth championship in a row, nobody on Säbener Straße is really happy with how the season has gone – not even Julian Nagelsmann. According to current media reports, the 34-year-old will make some changes in the coming weeks and months. The Bayern stars also have to adjust to adjustments.
Not only will FC Bayern have a lot going on in terms of personnel in the summer, Julian Nagelsmann also recently indicated that there are several construction sites that he will tackle. After the CL defeat once morest Villarreal, the young coach was very self-critical and emphasized that he “can do many things better”. As the “BILD” reportsthe 34-year-old is already working on concrete changes for the new season.
Bayern stars have to become (even) more flexible
Nagelsmann recently revealed that he works on so-called “position profiles” for the FCB stars. Accordingly, he would like his team to act even more flexibly in the coming season: “I am currently creating position profiles that we feed with videos so that every player, if he plays in an unfamiliar position next season, can look at his cell phone and in the video the sees four or five points that are in demand in terms of position.”
In terms of tactical formation, there will probably be changes for the new season. Recently, rumors have been circulating that many Bayern players are dissatisfied with Nagelsmann’s game systems. Accordingly, some professionals even feel overwhelmed with it. Many would like to return to the usual 4-2-3-1 system.
According to “BILD” information, Nagelsmann will take this request into account. Accordingly, the coach plans “in more difficult phases of the season” in the future to rely more on the tried and tested.
Nagelsmann calls for more cohesion
Another aspect that Nagelsmann would like to change is the cohesion of the team. In plain language: The FCB coach would like more team-building measures such as dinners together. The 34-year-old also doesn’t like the fact that players often drive straight home following home games
The players themselves have repeatedly emphasized that the “Mia-san-Mia” feeling has been partially lost. Joshua Kimmich addressed this publicly following the cup disaster once morest Gladbach, among other things.
More support from Bayern bosses
Last but not least, Nagelsmann would like to step back from the “limelight” in the new season. In his debut season, the young coach was nicknamed “FC Bayern’s foreign minister” because he repeatedly had to comment on topics that did not necessarily have a sporting background, such as Qatar sponsorship or contractual issues relating to Lewandowski & Co. Nagelsmann more support from the club leadership in such discussions in the future.
His assistant coaches Dino Toppmöller and Xaver Zembrod should also be given more responsibility and more involved in individual training with the players.
