Nagelsmann girlfriend quits controversial reporter job as Tottenham consider bid

JULIAN NAGELSMANN’S girlfriend will leave her job at Bild after his shock dismissal as Bayern Munich manager, the publication confirmed.

Nagelsmann and reporter Lena Wurzenberger went public with their relationship in 2022 after the German tactician separated from his wife of 15 years with whom he has two children.

Various reasons have been touted behind his sudden sacking by Bayern, such as a lack of player development and “negative sporting development”.

Reports suggest the 35-year-old and Wurzenberger’s affair was also among the causes.

That is because it created distrust in the dressing room at the Allianz Arena as she was working for one of Germany’s biggest publications.

That is despite the fact the top newspaper axed her from their Bayern coverage last year to avoid a conflict of interest.

But Bild confirmed the 30-year-old will leave her position and assume a role at BMW on April 1.

Wurzenberger will become the car manufacturers’ “spokeswoman for the supplier network and sustainability”.

Nagelsmann found out he was dismissed by Bayern during a skiing trip with his girlfriend.

He was promptly replaced by former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.

Now the former RB Leipzig boss has been linked with a move to Tottenham to replace Antonio Conte, who was recently dismissed as well.

Reports also suggest the ex-Hoffenheim head coach is open to talks with Spurs.

But the North Londoners are in no hurry to find Conte’s replacement, which is why they replaced him with his assistant Cristian Stellini until the end of the season.

Tottenham are also keeping tabs on other free agents, like Luis Enrique and former manager Mauricio Pochettino.
