At the home European Championships, many cameras were aimed at national coach Julian Nagelsmann. One also caught him kissing. Now the 36-year-old was asked about it.
In the annual RTL program “2024! People, Images, Emotions,” German national soccer coach Julian Nagelsmann was in the spotlight on Wednesday. In addition to sporting topics, the 36-year-old also gave an insight into his private life and spoke about a scene that made waves during the 2024 European Championships.
A kiss with his partner Lena Wurzenberger that was captured by numerous cameras went viral on social media. Nagelsmann calmly commented on the excitement surrounding the scene: “There was nothing that was not suitable for young people that you saw at that moment.” The national coach was unimpressed by the media attention and made it clear that for him the European Championship was an important event not only in terms of sport but also in his private life.
Another point that sparked discussion was Nagelsmann’s emotional speech after the end of the home European Championship. In his speech, he not only drew sporting conclusions, but also focused on topics such as team spirit and the meaning of responsibility.
When asked about the reactions, he said: “I don’t want to appear as the smartest person in the nation.” He was alluding to criticism that found his speech instructive. But this was received positively by most people because Nagelsmann also showed emotions and presented himself as vulnerable.
