JAKARTA - No one gets coach Julian Nigelsmann. Bayern Munich and Liverpool's offer was rejected by Nigelsmann who chose to continue to coach the German national team.

Nagelsmann was a puzzle after Euro 2024. Whether to continue to handle the German national team or to put down positions and return to coaching the club. Because his contract ended after the European Cup.

When there is no certainty, Nagelsmann has been approached by Bayern to return to deal with Germany's Bundesliga giants. The former RB Leipzig coach will replace Thomas Tuchel who resigned after the competition.

Not only Bayern, but Liverpool, who were left by manager Jurgen Klopp at the end of this season, also showed interest in bringing in Nigelsmann.

Only Nigelsmann rejected the two top European clubs. He has signed a contract extension as a coach for the German national team for the next two years.

The 36-year-old coach will serve until the 2026 World Cup. This once ended the speculation that Nigelsmann left the national team and moved to the club

Nigelsmann had puzzled Bayern before being sacked in March 2023. His position was later replaced by Tuchel.

After being unemployed, he was later appointed coach of the German national team. Nigelsmann replaces dismissed Hansi Flick. Interestingly, Nigelsmann also replaced Flick in Bayern.

This is the second time Bayern and Liverpool have failed to get a coach who was targeted by the two teams. Previously, Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso rejected the offer from the two clubs

Both Bayern and Liverpool are finally forced to look for other coaches. Bayern is aiming for Brighton and Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi.

The problem is that this Italian man is also targeted by Liverpool and Manchester United. Barcelona also made De Zerbi a candidate to replace Xavi Hernandez.

Another candidate is Flick. The former Bayern coach is still unemployed after no longer handling the German national team. Only Flick was also said to be Barca's target.

Liverpool itself still places De Zerbi as a priority. In addition there is Ruben Amorim, coach of Sporting Lisbon.

Even though he was said to have accepted Liverpool's offer, Amorim then denied the news.
