Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show Season 4, Episode 35: Reflecting back on that time Bayern Munich sacked Julian Nagelsmann — and how it has played out since; Listener Q&A; Catching up on Bayern’s transfer targets; and MORE!
•
The international break affords us the opportunity to take some time and think about all things Bayern Munich — and maybe even take a deep dive back into some moments from the past.
It was two years ago this week that Bayern Munich sacked Julian Nagelsmann. Let’s talk about the when, the how, and the why of the situation once more and also how things have changed for everyone since that point. This is the full gamut of what we have on tap for this edition of the Bavarian Podcast Works — Weekend Warm-up Show:
- Reflecting back on March 23rd, 2023 — The day that Bayern Munich fired Nagelsmann. The shock of it all. Why it happened? How that changed the future?
- Catching up on the latest news on some players, who Bayern Munich has been linked to — Bayer Leverkusen’s Florian Wirtz, RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, and Bournemouth’s Dean Huijsen. Don’t be shocked, though, if Max Eberl goes off the grid on a pursuit or two.
- A listener Q&A segment, including a question on beer, squad planning, and which Bayern Munich jerseys BFW staffers own.
- A brief Entertainment Rundown.
