Munich (AP) – Bayern President Herbert Hainer has certified Julian Nagelsmann after his first season with the German record champions from Munich a great development.
“Julian learns something extremely quickly. And he brings something completely new and fresh to the dressing room, a modern training theory, an innovative approach to football,” said Hainer in an interview with the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. “We respect him very much – as a coach and as a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve.”
Nagelsmann was deliberately chosen because he had already proven at the age of 34 that he was constantly evolving. The position of coach at FC Bayern is another house number than at Hoffenheim or Leipzig. Young people have to gain experience . Our trainer is very ambitious and very eager to learn. We are happy that we have him,” said Hainer and revealed a little sarcasm: “I say ‘Julian’ and ‘you’. He always says ‘Präsi’ to me.”
