No coach has been given a lot energy at Bayern Munich

No coach for the reason that well-known Pep Guardiola has been given as a lot energy as Nagelsmann in Sport 1. Most shocking is Bayern Munich’s willingness to offer Nagelsmann a better function in transfers:

Nagelsmann is closely concerned within the workforce’s plans. His most vital contact apart from Salih Hamidi: Marco Nebby. The coach, who got here to Bayern in 2014 as Michael Reschke’s assistant, is in each day contact with Nagelsmann and likewise sits on the bench throughout matches.
