Salihamidzic promises a different Bayern after the international break

Despite comfortable 2-0 Champions League victories over Inter and Barcelona,

dropped points in three consecutive matches after winning their first four Bundesliga games as they settled on a draw against Monchengladbach, Union Berlin, and Stuttgart.

The pressure on the German coach got increased after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Augsburg in their final game before the international break, putting the future of their head coach under a lot of speculations.

Revealing that the club held discussions with

to review his performance, Bayern's sporting director

insists that the manager has his full backing.

He told

:

"We talked to Julian about all aspects of our start to the season, including the positive ones, because there was not only the defeat in Augsburg but also a lot of goals at the beginning and two wins without conceding a goal in the Champions League.

"Julian is very clear. He and his team of coaches know exactly what to do. Above all, Julian knows that he has the full backing of FC Bayern, and that doesn't need to be emphasized again and again."

Blaming the

winter World Cup

as a reason for Bayern's poor start to the season, Salihamidzic added:

"For me, there is no question that in this extraordinarily demanding season with a world championship in the middle, only those teams have a chance of winning the title that find a rhythm as an entire squad group, that develop their rotation style and push themselves as a unit. Our players have quality, mentality and character, they want and will show that.

"We will appear differently after the international break. And I expect that too. Physical intensity, greed and the willingness to push yourself to the limit in every game are the prerequisites for success. We also need a much better, more focused exploitation of opportunities.”

Earlier, Bayern Munich CEO

Oliver Kahn

also made it clear that Nagelsmann has the club board's complete support.
