In my opinion, they agree many.” His argument: Despite his age, he can refer to six years of experience as a Bundesliga coach.

Just let the boy work,” said the seven-time national player.
Nagelsmann is “a really good guy, he’s refreshing and sometimes throws out a saying. That’s why we hope that he’ll continue to be given the chance and that he’ll prevail at some point because he’s just in a good mood”.
