Rudi Völler, the director of the DFB, disclosed that Julian Nagelsmann was nearly lured back to Bayern Munich prior to the club's decision to hire Vincent Kompany. Nagelsmann had a strong desire to prove his capabilities at Bayern, indicating his connection and commitment to the club. However, Völler emphasized that Nagelsmann's decision to lead the national team was significant. He noted the renewed recognition of German football post-Nagelsmann's stewardship, hinting at the potential future for Nagelsmann in coaching at Bayern.
"There were other inquiries. But proving to Bayern that he can do it there was appealing to him, yes. He was hesitant about it."
"Now if you leave, then someone else will perhaps reap the fruits of your work and win titles with these players."
