Nagelsmann gets death threats after Bayern's Champions League shock

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann said Friday he had been subjected to online death threats after his team's surprise Champions League exit to Villarreal this week.

"I know I will always get criticism from all sides, that's normal and I can deal with it. But with 450 death threats on Instagram, it's not so easy," said Nagelsmann ahead of Bayern's Bundesliga trip to Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday.

"If people want to kill me that's one thing, but they also attack my own mother, who doesn't even care about football," he added.

"I don't understand it. As soon as they turn off the TV, people forget all decency. And they think they are the ones in the right, that's the crazy thing."

Asked whether he had considered taking legal action, Nagelsmann suggested there were simply too many threats for that to be realistic.

"I would never be done with it. I get them after every single game, regardless of whether we win or lose," he said.

"There are more death threats when we play with a back three than when we play with a back four, and obviously a few more whenever we lose."

Nagelsmann is the second Bayern employee who has been faced with death threats this week.

The wife and son of sporting director Hasan Salihamidzic also revealed on Wednesday and Thursday that they had been subjected to threats in the wake of the Villarreal defeat, posting screenshots of private messages sent on Instagram.

On Friday, Nagelsmann said he did not expect Bayern to increase security measures.

"We are still private individuals. I don't want to provoke anyone, and nobody has turned up at my house yet," he said.

 

So many people that need to get their heads checked.

Imagine taking football so seriously that you feel the need to make death threats. Always baffled me.

Sometimes I'm inclined to lose faith in people's sanity- this is one these occurences.

I can't believe he says he gets more death threats when he plays certain formations over others.

Bayern win something every year pretty much and this is how the fucking fans act? Seems like they need a Liverpool style decades long title drought to remind them how fucking good they have it, ingrates.

Absolutely bizarre.

I had a look at his Instagram earlier. It's mostly foreign Bayern gloryhunters who are probably angry that they can't hunt more glory?! Bizarre people.

This. I’ve come off Twitter for this very reason. All utterly bizarre cunts. This is not to belittle our foreign fans on here. However, the rise of ‘football Twitter’ has to be a reason for Putin to press that button more than anything the Ukraine has ever done.

@Viva la FCB I know you're frustrated mate but settle down.

How casual death and rape threats on social media are is worrying

[Viva la FCB+]

Was reading Brazzo's son on Instagram made some post about much of the same after the match. It's just really sad, sad people that do these kinda things. Over here we see it much more regularly with hockey players and their families.. Social media is just the spawn of the earth.

I do love the honesty of third world ESL social media.

’fuck u mother bastard man’
’hello beautiful lovley fuck woman’
’your family i kill goatraper’
’come to brasil’

Such poetry can only be feared
