Bayern Munich move came 'too early' for Julian Nagelsmann as Germany boss admits he shouldn't have left RB Leipzig for ill-fated spell at Bundesliga giants
Nagelsmann feels his move to Bayern came too early Feels he could have achieved more in Leipzig Leipzig CEO calls him an outstanding coach Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Nagelsmann became the most expensive German coach in history when Bayern paid €25 million (£22m/$29m) to Leipzig for his services in 2021. He won the Bundesliga in his debut season but suffered a Champions League exit at the hands of Unai Emery's Villarreal. In the following campaign, a run of poor domestic results and strained relationships within the dressing room led to his dismissal, with Thomas Tuchel replacing him as Bayern manager in 2023. THE BIGGER PICTURE Nagelsmann was just 33 when he agreed to leave RB Leipzig for the Bavarian giants and admits that the switch to the Allianz Arena may have been premature, suggesting he could have achieved more had he stayed where he was. WHAT NAGELSMANN SAID Naggelsmann said: "Looking back, I left a bit too early. There are also players who sometimes move somewhere too early. I guess I did that too even though it wasn't a mistake to go to Bayern, but in retrospect, I felt really comfortable here and could have achieved a lot more with the club." Speaking about the move, Leipzig CEO Oliver Mintzlaff expressed his regret over letting Nagelsmann leave, saying: 'For me, Julian Nagelsmann was the best coach I've ever experienced. An outstanding coach." WHAT NEXT FOR NAGELSMANN Now in charge of Germany, Nagelsmann is tasked with guiding the national team to World Cup success in 2026.

German biathlete Dahlmeier dies after mountaineering accident
German double Olympic biathlon champion Laura Dahlmeier has died after a mountaineering accident in Pakistan, her management confirmed on Wednesday. The accident occurred around noon on Monday, at an altitude of approximately 5,700 metres at Laila Peak, according to the Alpine Club of Pakistan. Dahlmeier was climbing with her mountaineering partner when she was struck by a sudden rockfall in the Hushe Valley, part of the northern Gilgit-Baltistan region. Poor weather conditions prevented a rescue helicopter from reaching the site. "Laura Dahlmeier died on 28 July in a mountain accident on Laila Peak (6,069 metres) in Pakistan's Karakoram range," her representatives told Germany's Die Welt newspaper. "A recovery operation was launched but ultimately called off on the evening of 29 July." Her representatives added that Dahlmeier most likely died instantly, while her mountaineering partner was unharmed and remained at the site. "It was Laura Dahlmeier's express and written will that in a case like this, no one should risk their life to recover her," they said. "It was her wish to leave her body behind on the mountain in this case. This is also in line with the wishes of her relatives." The 31-year-old Dahlmeier retired from biathlon in 2019, aged 25, a year after becoming the first female biathlete to achieve a sprint and pursuit double at the same Olympics. The German Olympic Sports Confederation expressed deep sorrow at the news. "She was more than an Olympic champion - she was someone with heart, attitude and vision," it said in a statement on X. Dahlmeier, who was born in the Bavarian ski town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, was also honoured by the premier of her home state, Markus Soeder. "Laura Dahlmeier epitomised her native Bavaria in the best sense of the word: she was ambitious and successful, yet always remained humble and close to her homeland," he said in a statement.
