Oliver Baumann and former Germany national coach Julian Nagelsmann had a conversation after the World Cup about the demotion of the TSG Hoffenheim player.
"He [Nagelsmann] was sorry about how everything turned out in the end," the 36-year-old told various media outlets, in Seefeld, Austria, amid TSG's pre-season training camp.
"I spoke with Julian ten days ago (…) We had already agreed to talk on the phone. Then we talked for almost an hour. I told him everything that was important to me."
According to the veteran goalkeeper the conversation with his former coach wasn't emotional "but completely neutral". Stating that it "settles the matter."
The controversy stemmed from Nagelsmann's decision to strip Baumann of his starting position just weeks before the World Cup and opting for Manuel Neuer instead.
