Nagelsmann paid dearly for the 'love story' with the Bild journalist

'Behind a great man there is always a great woman' - said Virginia Woolf. But sometimes it is a woman who can create a problem, as in the case of the story of Julian Nagelsmann and Bayern. A love story at first, surprisingly closed.

Looking for the cause of a departure that is not justified by the results, with the team in second place and among the best 8 of the Champions League. The gossip pages, but also the serious newspapers, have found the cause. One of the reasons for the young coach's divorce from the most powerful club in Germany has a name: Lena Wurzenberger, former journalist of 'Bild'.

The girl, or rather her profession, was not at all liked by some of the Bayern players, who did not trust her.

There is a sacred rule in the world of men's football: dressing room words are not spoken outside. It's the usual dirty laundry story that needs to be washed at home. Someone in the team complained that Nagelsmann washed them in the living room or at the breakfast table and that's where they ended up in the 'Bild' centrifuge. Lena, for her part, had often complained in the newsroom: when her relationship with the coach became public, the newspaper managers moved her from the sports newsroom to the Munich chronicle, but even that was not enough.

Rumors about the coach and the journalist continued to circulate and were also published in the newspaper without announcing it. Lena did not accept this and in the end, before Nagelsmann's dismissal, she left Bild. Nagelsmann is waiting for another engagement with the clubs, while she has found him in the communication office of 'Bmw'.

Lena and Julian met when she was following Bayern. For him Nagelsmann left his wife Verena, with whom he has two children. Things happen, but if the new girlfriend wasn't a sports journalist, no one at Bayern would deal with the changes in the coach's private life.

The fact is that at Bayern things were not working as before. Nagelsmann and Lena were on vacation, skiing during the championship break, when the surprise phone call came from the club's delegated administrator, Oliver Kahn, communicating the decision that the coach had been replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

Former Germany player Markus Babbel said: "I know his relationship with Lena was a much-discussed argument in the Bayern dressing room." Whether Lena played a negative role in Nagelsmann's dismissal cannot be said for sure. It's voices like those of the dressing room...
