Three times
Julian Nagelsmann's
path
crossed with Bayern Munich.
In 2015, when he was still Hoffenheim's assistant, they tried to sign him as a coach for the quarry.
Pep Guardiola
came to receive him at the clubhouse, but Hoffenheim closed the door on him.
In 2018 he sounded like a candidate to succeed
Jupp Heynckes
, but neither the Bavarian club, who doubted his short experience, nor he himself, who has always measured his steps a lot, were convinced.
Now that
Hansi Flick is
targeting the German national team, and that he is already an undeniable reality, Nagelsmann lands in the club of his dreams.
In five years, the Bavarian coach has gone from being the youngest to the most expensive coach in history.
Bayern will pay RB Leipzig 20 million for their services
.
The youngest
Few coaches have charted their careers with the pulse of Julian Nagelsmann. In 2015
Hoffenheim
, mired in the fight for salvation, made him the youngest coach in the history of the Bundesliga at 28 years old. Not only did he save the team, but the following season, his first full on the bench, took him to fourth place.
His work caught the attention of Real Madrid and on several occasions he has confessed that he would like to direct it one day but, again, it was not the right step. He was looking for an intermediate step and found it at
RB Leipzig
, who last season, his first in the team, led to the semifinals of the Champions League.
This season has reached the most realistic ceiling of the team: quarter-finals against PSG and second in the Bundesliga, seven points behind Bayern.
It was time to climb the highest step.
Nagelsmann will not arrive alone, as the Bavarian team has already announced the signing of
Dayot Upamecano
for 42 million.
At a time when there is great concern about competitive equality, the club that has won the last eight Bundesliga titles - and that has the ninth well on track - has signed the coach and the second most sought-after player for the next season classified.
