• Bayern Munich has defended the club’s decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann last week

Bayern Munich are adamant they did nothing wrong in sacking Julian Nagelsmann, despite the coach qualifying the club for the Champions League quarter-finals without losing a single game.

Nagelsmann was replaced by former Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain manager, Thomas Tuchel after his contract with the reigning Bundesliga leaders was terminated on March 24.

According to Goal, Bayern Munich sports director, Hasan Salihamidzic has now exempted the German club from any blame for the manner in which Nagelsmann was fired.

“We negotiated with Thomas Tuchel's manager on Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately, on Thursday evening we had to learn that it had already been leaked by a third person."

“Signing such a top coach in two days is not normal either. We behaved fairly. As fair as can be in this business. Of course, it's bad that it comes out before then. But it's not our fault."

Bayern dropped to second place in the Bundesliga before Nagelsmann was fired and they now trail Borussia Dortmund by one point.
