DFB director fires back after biting critique of Julian Nagelsmann by Uli Hoene: 'Bayern Munich paid 25m for him'
"“I don't recall anyone from the DFB asking Mr. Hoeneß to issue an interim report for Mr. Nagelsmann,” Rettig retorted, as captured by @iMiaSanMia. “I also don't know his motivation and what's driving him to say that now. Our coach isn't as bad as some people claim. We always had at least eight, at times up to ten injured players. That could not be blamed on the coach.”"
"“Besides, Germany are not the only fans of Nagelsmann's work, former or otherwise. “Uli Hoeneß' Bayern paid €25m for Julian Nagelsmann, and would gladly have brought him back after his dismissal. There must be a reason for that.”"
"Uli Hoeneß has made no secret of his severe disagreements with many of the decisions of Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann, publicly calling the former Bayern head coach out for not settling on a consistent starting XI and overrating his importance in relation to the team."
Uli Hoeneß criticized Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann for not using a consistent starting XI and for overstating his importance relative to the team. Andreas Rettig responded by saying the DFB did not ask Hoeneß to produce an interim report on Nagelsmann and by questioning Hoeneß’s motivation for speaking now. Rettig defended Nagelsmann’s performance, stating Germany had at least eight injured players at times up to ten, and that this situation could not be blamed on the coach. Rettig also noted that Hoeneß’s Bayern paid €25 million for Nagelsmann and would have brought him back after his dismissal, implying there was a reason for that investment.
