Despite earning the nickname Baby Mourinho early on in his coaching career, new Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann has shown he s very much his own man after impressing with Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig.
1) Record breaker
Nagelsmann was just 28 when he was appointed as head coach of Hoffenheim in February 2016, taking over from veteran tactician Huub Stevens, who resigned due to health reasons. Nagelsmann was already scheduled to take charge later that summer, but brought forward his arrival to fill the void. The club were in 17th place and seemingly set to go down at the time, but he lifted them to safety by the end of the campaign.

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.
