BREAKING NEWS: Julian Nagelsmann races back from his skiing holiday to be SACKED by Bayern Munich at their training ground – after dropping his girlfriend home – and it could cost them £62m!
Julian Nagelsmann cut short his skiing holiday in Austria and raced back to Bayern Munich‘s training ground on Friday, bracing himself for the chop after news of his sacking hit the headlines last night.
The 35-year-old boss was pictured arriving at Saebener Strasse – the Bundesliga giants’ headquarters in south Germany – just after 3pm local time on Friday afternoon, ready to accept his fate after two years at the club.
Sportsmail reported this morning that Thomas Tuchel is set to take over at Bayern Munich on Monday, with the club sitting second in the Bundesliga just one point adrift of league leaders and rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Nagelsmann was on a skiing trip Austrian Zillertal, enjoying the international break with his 30-year-old girlfriend Lena Wurzenberger, when he learned of his imminent sacking.
Upon travelling home, the German manager swiftly took a detour to drop off his girlfriend before heading to Bayern Munich’s training ground.

He was pictured heading into an underground car park, where he picked up personal advisors Volker Struth and Sascha Breese ahead of the crunch talks with Bayern CEO Oliver Kahn and sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic.

During his 20 months in charge of the German outfit, the young coach claimed one Bundesliga title and two DFL Supercup trophies.
