Asked whether the bigger mistake was the sacking of Nagelsmann or the hiring of Tuchel.
Hoeness replied:
‘Of course the hasty sacking of Nagelsmann. Which the Supervisory Board had not agreed on for a long time. The Supervisory Board considered as if it had been an unavoidable event.’
‘And that creates a sense of unrest at a time when we have won all three titles. It’s not a bad situation. Who knows what would have happened if Julian had been given this opportunity? I would have liked these things to have been handled with more patience.’
After being sacked by Bayern Munich, the German Football Federation appointed Nagelsmann. As the new coach to replace Hansi Flick and he restored the German team to playing beautiful football again.
Asked about his troubled relationship with Tuchel during his time at Bayern Munich, Hoeness criticised Tuchel for not developing young players. Before he left the club to become England manager. And Hoeness called Tuchel’s time at the Allianz Arena a disaster.
‘Personally, our relationship was good until the end. But in many ways he had a completely different perspective on leading the team. He also wanted to sign quite a few players. We wanted to try to work more with our own players in the medium term.’
‘When you think about the high-priced players who are called up over and over again. Every time we have an injury, we call up a new player. It’s a constant conversation about the players. I’ve never heard that from Vincent [Kompany].’
