Julian Nagelsmann could have celebrated his 31st birthday as Real Madrid's new coach this week. But instead of running the most famous and successful football club in the world, the native Bayer continues to work in the charming town of Zuzenhausen for Hoffenheim in 1899.

He enjoys coming to practice cycling or to electric skateboard until his move to Leipzig 2019 Enjoy the life of a coach in the idyll of football for another year. The fact that he has eliminated an offer from the Real World Club this summer and continues to act as one of the greatest coaching talents in the international market for a long-term plan appeals to all: Nagelsmann himself even

"The big problem in our society is the tendency to maximize, it's more obvious than the neighbor, having the biggest car, the biggest bank account, the biggest big house, I do not want to be there, "said Nagelsmann in an interview with the football magazine" 11Freunde ". Just be a Real Madrid coach to be a Real Madrid coach? To coach Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale and Luka Modric? This is not the way of Nagelsmann. "I want to grow up logically, it's not just about maximization but about the task I have to face," said the young coach.

Again, Nagelsmann chose the soft way: instead of taking over from Bayern or Dortmund, he will give pressure to the bench with the high speed kickers of Leipzig

Hans-Joachim Watzke, the boss of the BVB, another step. "I would have (…) found it exciting, if Julian Nagelsmann, whom I greatly appreciate as a coach, would be immersed in Hoffenheim in a very big traditional club," Watzke said. At Real Madrid, this was possible after the sudden departure of the talented coach Zinédine Zidane, Nagelsmann knows that "the universe of the FC does not exist and much bigger than the Real does not work," he says. -he. But everything in his day.
