5 things on Hoffenheim's prodigious young coach

Despite the fact that in an early coaching career he won the nickname "Little Mourinho", Hoffenheim's boss Julian Nagsmann proved himself very strongly after the replacement of the reins of the club Sinsheim in 2016. human.

1.Record breaker

When Neheman was appointed head coach of Hoffenheim in February 2016, he was only 28 years old, and managed to become the chief strategist for Hub Stevens, who resigned for health reasons. Nagelsman planned to take responsibility later in the summer, but he offered his arrival to fill the vacancy. The club took 17th place, and it seems that at that time it will not be so, but at the end of the campaign he raised them to a safe status.

Although Nagelsmann - the youngest permanent coach in the history of the Bundesliga, he is not the youngest coach who controls the game in the Bundesliga. October 23, 1976 Bernd Steber went to Cologne for a temporary job in Saarbrucken at the age of 24 years. Morschdel lost the game 5: 1.

2.Injury heartache

Nagelsmann was born in Landsberg on the shore of the Bavarian town of Lech and participated in the youth team of Munich in 1860. Although former teammates Christian Tresch and Fabian Johnson continued to grow in the Bundesliga, shortly after joining Augsburg, the accident on the knee continued and ended with Nagelsmann's ambitions to join them, just 20 years. "At first I did not want anything related to football," Nagelsmann said in the game. "I'm very sad, and I must finish my career so young."

3.Training-ground innovator

Hoffenheim used "football fields" in small groups around the world for fine-tuning and controlling players, but Nagelsmann. Besides using drones to shoot his team, he also installed a huge video wall half way through the main training area.

4.Famous role models

These victories can partly be explained by his admiration for some outstanding coaching colleagues. Although Nagelsmann quoted the former coach of Bavaria in Munich, Pep Guardiola as a source of inspiration, he acknowledged that the former Borussia Dortmund boss Thomas Tucher had the greatest influence on him. Despite the reserve trend of the season 2007/08 in Augsburg, Thatcher allowed Negelsman to scout the upcoming opponents. "This is my coaching style," explains Nagelsmann. "I learned a lot from him."

Thatcher also helped his young man. "He is a very diligent and very diligent young coach," he said at the time of Nagelsmann's appointment. "I'm very happy for him, I believe him."

5.Social media abstinence

Unlike most of his generations, Nagelsmann does not have social networks. However, this does not mean that it does not have access to accounts on different platforms. Soon after he was appointed head of Hoffenheim, he opened official profiles on Instagram and Facebook and quickly collected more than 42,000 fans before closing them.

"As a coach, I do not think you need to deal with social networks," said Agent Nagelsmann Mark Kozikke (who is also a consultant to Jürgen Klopp) in an interview with Die Welt. "Julien tried it for this idea, because I wanted to see what kind of interaction is." I do not think that this is a bad idea, because it is part of the generation that uses it. Point? "
