Bayern boss Nagelsmann tests positive for Covid-19

Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has tested positive for Covid-19 after missing his side's Champions League victory over Benfica on Wednesday with a "flu-like infection".

Nagelsmann has enjoyed a fantastic start to life on the Bayern bench since moving from RB Leipzig over the summer. 

However, he had to watch from afar as his charges continued their perfect start in Europe at the Estadio da Luz with a 4-0 victory - with assistant coaches Dino Toppmoller and Xaver Zembrod overseeing events from the touchline.

"Julian Nagelsmann, 34, head coach of FC Bayern Munich, tested positive for the corona virus despite being completely vaccinated," Bayern have said in a statement on the club's official website.

"He will return to Munich separately from the team in a medical plane and will go into domestic isolation."
