Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann has been fined 50,000 euros for criticizing the referee in Saturday’s game against Borussia Mönchengladbach, the German Football Association said on Wednesday.
At the end of the German League game, in which Bayern Munich lost 3-2, Nagelsmann harshly criticized referee Tobias Welz, specifically for the expulsion of center-back Dayot Upamecano, in the ninth minute, although the coach apologized more late.
“Emotions are part of sport, but I have to apologize for my choice of words to referee Tobias Welz,” the coach of the German champions later wrote on Twitter.
Emotionen gehören zum Sport dazu. Und angesichts der Roten Karte mustste ich mir nach dem Spiel Luft machen. Allerdings muss ich mich für die Wortwahl gegenüber dem Team rund um Tobias Welz entschuldigen. Da bin ich leider eindeutig zu weit gegangen.
