FC Bayern - Felix Magath on Julian Nagelsmann: "I don't think much of it"

Felix Magath can’t do much with the approach of modern coaches like Julian Nagelsmann. “I don’t believe in what you do today. So to judge and build the game tactically alone,” said the 68-year-old image asked about the coach of FC Bayern.

“That manifests the mediocrity and makes the game uninteresting. The tactic is part of the game, but it’s not the decisive one,” explained Magath: “Whether I play offensively or defensively is part of the strategy. That’s why I have my players never put into a tactical concept. Sometimes we won without tactics. “

Magath was Bayern coach from 2004 to 2007 and won the double with the record champions twice in a row. Nevertheless, he was released in January 2007 and replaced by his predecessor Ottmar Hitzfeld.

During his time in Munich, Magath repeatedly had problems with the manager at the time, Uli Hoeneß, revealed the native of Aschaffenburg. “I accept everyone as they are, including Uli Hoeneß. But he has different interests in football. I had no thirst for power and money. That is more to be found with Uli Hoeneß,” said Magath.

Hoeneß simply determined many things, said the former national player. But he had “made the maximum out of his possibilities, his point of view.”

After his commitment to Bayern, Magath moved on to VfL Wolfsburg, which he made champion in 2009. After stints at Schalke, Wolfsburg and Fulham again, he last coached the Chinese club Shandong Luneng Taishan until 2017.

Watch out, Magath! These are the victims of Uli Hoeneß

1/27

Felix Magath has sharply criticized Uli Hoeneß, his former manager at FC Bayern. History shows that the FCB honorary president could strike back. SPOX shows Hoeneß’s previous “victims”.

2/27

According to Magath, Hoeneß has “different interests in football” than himself. At that time he mainly had “lust for power and money,” said Magath, who was in office in Munich from 2004 to 2007, of “Bild”.

3/27

When Uli Hoeneß’s term of office as president of FC Bayern ended, he announced that he would guard his club “like a mother hen”. So the attack department still exists.

4/27

The last real victim was the journalist Marco Fenske (editor-in-chief of RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland) in November 2019 when Hoeneß called “Sport1-Doppelpass”.

5/27

“I have the following on my heart: That large parts of the group express themselves totally disrespectful about Hasan Salihamidzic. Especially this Mr. Fenske, who has absolutely no idea,” rumbled Hoeneß.

6/27

Before that, Hoeneß had got involved in the goalkeeper debate about Manuel Neuer and Marc-Andre ter Stegen – with an attack in the direction of DFB director Oliver Bierhoff …

7/27

“We have already experienced such chaos. That was during the 2006 World Cup. Mr. Bierhoff was also jointly responsible for Oliver Kahn and Jens Lehmann. I want to spare German football that,” said Hoeneß.

8/27

Bierhoff, who showed “no understanding” for the FCB attacks, was a team manager when Kahn lost his regular place shortly before the home World Cup.

9/27

The “Attack Department” was born on May 15, 1989 in the “ZDF Sports Studio”. Hoeneß and Christoph Daum clashed after the then Cologne coach Jupp Heynckes described, among other things, a “sleeping pill”.

10/27

A lecture by Hoeneß was followed by an exchange of blows, which finally reached its climax. “You overestimate yourself immensely,” attacked Hoeness Daum, who countered: “In order to achieve the level of overestimation that you do, I have to be a hundred years old.”

11/27

A feud that went on for years took place between Hoeneß and Willi Lemke. The former Werder manager was hit with a lot. After narrowly winning the championship of FCB in front of Bremen in 1986, he called him a “seducer”.

12/27

Lemke’s answer was not long in coming: “Either he was drunk or he wants to kindle the fire against us even further!” When Lemke moved from the football business to the Bremen town hall and became the Senator for Education, another highlight followed …

13/27

… “It’s amazing that a man with such a character can become a state minister,” said Hoeneß. A nice farewell greeting. In the years that followed, the two arguers did not remain silent.

14/27

The punk band “Die Toten Hosen” released the song “I would never go to FC Bayern Munich” in 1999, which annoyed Hoeneß: “This is the dirt our society will eventually suffocate on.”

15/27

Around two years after his farewell game, Lothar Matthäus made a name for himself as a TV expert in 2002 and promptly criticized FC Bayern. Hoeneß reacted relatively calmly in the double pass, only to top it off a few days later.

16/27

“He wants to, he wanted to be something at Bayern. But as long as I and Kalle Rummenigge have something to say, he won’t even be a greenkeeper in the new stadium!”, Said Hoeneß.

17/27

Before the start of the home World Cup, Hoeneß insisted that national coach Jürgen Klinsmann relocate to Germany. “He’s supposed to come here and not dance around California all the time and let us do this shit here,” he rumbled.

18/27

In January 2007, some FCB professionals got their fat off due to poor performance, including Bastian Schweinsteiger. The accusation: The midfielder works “too little” on the pitch.

19/27

“Too many people have blown powdered sugar up the pig’s bottom in the last six months. Now I’m knocking it out again,” said Hoeneß, who no longer accepted “what happened there”.

20/27

After many fans complained about the high admission prices and the lousy atmosphere in the new Allianz Arena, Hoeneß burst his collar at the 2007 annual general meeting: “Your shitty mood, you are responsible for it and not us!”

21/27

In 2008, the promoted TSG Hoffenheim under Ralf Rangnick put down an outstanding first half of the season. After FCB’s victory in the top game, Hoeneß defeated their coach, accusing him of “knowing better” and saying that he could not deal with “mountain air”.

22/27

In April 2011 Louis van Gaal was released as a coach at FCB. Reason enough for Hoeneß to settle properly after the barrel finally “overflowed”: “Success is one thing. But fun has been missing in this club for a long time.”

23/27

Assistant coach Andries Jonker took over and had a clear task: the Champions League – and with success. “I expect an explosion and that the straitjacket will be stripped off,” said Hoeneß after the discharge.

24/27

Hoeneß sharply criticized Mesut Özil after his resignation from the national team. It was “great for sporting reasons”, since Özil was an “alibi kicker”, rumbled Hoeneß and added another: “He’s been a mess for years.”

25/27

At the memorable press conference in October 2018, Hoeneß targeted one player in particular: Juan Bernat. The defender played “shit” against Sevilla in the premier class and was to blame for the almost elimination.

26/27

After a rude foul by Karim Bellarabi on Rafinha, Hoeneß spoke of an “insane” act in September 2018. “That was deliberate assault, it should be banned for three months – for stupidity,” said Hoeneß.

27/27

At the 2018 Annual General Meeting, Johannes Bachmayr threw Hoeneß with harsh criticism of his approach to ex-employees, to which the FCB President reacted “very” hit. His conclusion: He now wants to act more cautiously – well …
