One of the best anecdotes you can find about Julian Nagelsmann is how he was introduced to the role of head coach.
After a career started at two Bavarian rivals of Bayern Munich Augsburg and 1860 Munich he injured his knee and was forced to quit the game at the age of 21 in 2008. He bounced from a scouting role under Thomas Tuchel Augsburg’s second team coach in 2008 to managing multiple youth teams at 1860 Munich. From there, he moved out of Bavaria for the first time in his footballing career to take a job in Baden-Württemberg at the academy teams for Hoffenheim.

BERLIN: RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann all but conceded the Bundesliga title on Saturday after his side were beaten 1-0 by league leaders Bayern Munich thanks to a first-half goal from Leon Goretzka.
Goretzka smashed the ball into the top corner shortly before the break as Bayern opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the table over second-placed Leipzig with just seven games to go. Bayern moved to 64 points with Leipzig on 57.
For us, it’s about finishing second in the table. We’re playing a good season and we want to keep going, even if our first chance of a title is gone,” Nagelsmann told Sky.
