WHAT THEY SAID: Former Bayern and Germany defender Markus Babbel told Blick: "I know that Nagelsmann's relationship with a BILD reporter was a huge topic in the dressing room. It didn't go down well at all that he was with her. His girlfriend was therefore a big problem for Bayern.
"There was a lack of trust because some players just weren't able to communicate what they were thinking anymore. Because they were afraid that everything would end up in the newspaper."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Nagelsmann was sacked by Bayern this week, with the club second in the Bundesliga, a point behind Borussia Dortmund. They have appointed former Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel -whose first game will be against Dortmund following the end of the international break.
