Svetislav Pesic invites journalist to Bundesliga playoffs after post-game interview

Following Bayern Munich's victory over Armani Milan on April 10, 2026, Bayern head coach Svetislav Pesic engaged in a lighthearted exchange with Italian journalist Gaia Accoto during a post-game flash interview. Pesic, who was in high spirits after the win, jokingly questioned why the journalist does not follow the German Bundesliga, despite Germany's success as world and European champions. During the conversation, Pesic invited Accoto to attend upcoming Bundesliga playoff games. He requested her phone number, stating he would have club staff contact her to arrange the invitation. Accoto responded positively to the offer, referring to Pesic as a legend. Some media reports characterized the interaction as flirtatious, while others emphasized the coach's uncharacteristically jovial mood during the interview. The exchange concluded with the journalist agreeing to the proposal.
