Germany coach Hansi Flick admits mistakes in Bayern Munich exit

The Hindu  

Germany coach Hansi Flick admitted on Tuesday he had made mistakes in his controversial exit from Bayern Munich, saying: “I sometimes ask myself -- ‘Why did it come to this?’” Flick was talking from the Germany training camp ahead of Nations League clashes with Hungary and England. Under Flick’s guidance, Bayern claimed 64 of a possible 72 points to finish the Covid-interrupted Bundesliga season, before clinching their sixth Champions League title with a 1-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain in Lisbon. ‘Backing Bayern in weak phase’ Flick also said he believed his former club would overcome their current struggles. “Now they’re in a bit of a weak phase -- but they always create opportunities, and that makes me very positive.” Flick also backed his successor Julian Nagelsmann, saying he was an “excellent coach”.
