CNN —Julian Naglesmann, Germany’s national soccer team manager, opened up about the death of his father in an interview with Der Spiegel, revealing he was a German spy and later took his own life.
Even my grandfather believed his son was a soldier,” Nagelsmann told the German publication.
It wasn’t until the former Bayern Munich manager was 15 or 16 that he learned his father worked for the secret service, he said.
Julian Nagelsmann won the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich in 2022.
He was sacked by Bayern Munich in March 2023 during his second season in charge after the club slipped from the top of the Bundesliga table.
