Maria KeaneAfter the round of 16 second leg in the Champions League of FC Bayern Munich against PSG (2-0), coach Julian Nagelsmann and Sadio Mané, who are now on leave, apparently got in each other’s hair. That reports the sports picture.
Accordingly, the Senegalese was very dissatisfied with his short playing times in the two previous games (against Union Berlin and VfB Stuttgart) and in the all-important game against Paris Saint-Germain. Mané, who tore a tendon in his right fibula head in November, was only allowed to play eight minutes against the French.
According to the report, out of frustration, the 30-year-old complained violently to Nagelsmann in front of some teammates. According to the sports picture the situation even threatened to escalate.
In addition, the other Bayern professionals would have noticed that Nagelsmann was said to have been intimidated by Mané. This opinion was confirmed after the summer newcomer was back in the starting eleven for the first time after his injury break in the following game against FC Augsburg.
Mané had moved from Liverpool to Munich for 32 million euros. In 28 competitive games he scored eleven goals and five assists. Under Nagelsmann he only managed to a limited extent to get stuck even before his long injury.
With the change of coach to Thomas Tuchel, it is expected that Mané will be used exclusively as a left winger again. Nagelsmann had often called him up at the top.
