Multiple criticism of Nagelsmann: Discussion with Hoeneß takes place! | OneFootball

Julian Nagelsmann is currently the talk of the town, and not just because of his nomination to the DFB squad for the 2026 World Cup. Uli Hoeneß, the honorary president of FC Bayern, in particular, has been quite critical of Nagelsmann of late. Now there’s been a debate!

Among other things, Hoeneß recently criticized the communication of the decision on the goalkeeper issue. „That wasn’t right, it wasn’t fair,“ the 74-year-old honorary president told Der Spiegel

Hoeneß also talked the national team coach into the line-up: „I wouldn’t burn Joshua Kimmich, who has played an outstanding season in midfield for FC Bayern, under any circumstances, because as a right-back he can’t give the game as much impetus and can’t be as much of a leader as he is at FC Bayern – and the national team needs leaders,“ said Hoeneß

Discussion between Hoeneß and Nagelsmann

The fact that this criticism was primarily communicated via the media and not personally caused a stir. The statements to Der Spiegel were also the second criticism in recent weeks that the Bayern patron had voiced towards Nagelsmann

According to kicker, however, Nagelsmann and Hoeneß have now spoken in the presence of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on the sidelines of Saturday’s cup final, which FC Bayern won 3-0 against VfB Stuttgart. The issue now seems to be settled

Nagelsmann himself had recently shown himself to be unimpressed by the criticism anyway. „I hold Uli in extremely high regard – and I know that he also has my cell phone number. And I’m always happy when he has a compelling issue, sees potential for improvement in our team and tells me about it,“ he said during a recent appearance on Aktuelle Sportstudio

Now that the last differences have been resolved, the national coach can concentrate on preparing for the World Cup.
