Julian Nagelsmann, one of the most promising football managers in Germany, has had quite a journey in his career so far. In the past, he has managed some of the biggest clubs in the country, including Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig, and Hoffenheim. However, his current role as the Germany boss might not last long, as he has recently hinted that he is open to new opportunities before the Euro 2024 tournament.
This news has caught the attention of top English clubs such as Liverpool and Manchester United, who are currently facing uncertainties regarding their managers for the next season. Liverpool's Jurgen Klopp will be leaving Anfield after almost nine years, while there is speculation about Manchester United's new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe planning to replace their current manager, Erik ten Hag.
Nagelsmann has been on the radar of both these clubs in the past, but it seems like Ratcliffe is more interested in other potential candidates like Gareth Southgate and Graham Potter. However, the 36-year-old manager has made it clear that he does not want to be out of a job for too long. He is actively looking for new offers and hopes to secure a position before the Euro 2024 tournament.
Liverpool has expressed interest in hiring club legend Xabi Alonso, who is currently doing an outstanding job at Bayer Leverkusen. However, Bayern Munich is also interested in securing his services, which could potentially complicate things for Nagelsmann if he wants to join the Reds.
Nagelsmann has also been linked with a shock return to Bayern Munich, just a year after he was controversially sacked by the Bundesliga giants and replaced by Thomas Tuchel. After a disappointing season, Tuchel is set to leave the Allianz Arena, with Alonso and Antonio Conte among the top contenders to replace him.
It's worth noting that Nagelsmann was only appointed as the Germany boss last September, replacing the sacked Hansi Flick. His contract is set to end after Euro 2024, which coincidentally, is being hosted by Germany. However, the young coach has made it clear that he does not want to be without a job for too long. He is actively looking for new opportunities and is hoping to find a suitable position before the start of the tournament.
Nagelsmann also mentioned that he takes his family's opinion into consideration when making career decisions. He wants to find a job where he has a say in the decision-making process and is not just a puppet controlled by the club. He also stated that he is a young coach who needs a job and is looking for options that align with his values and goals. It's clear that he is determined to continue his successful career as a manager and is not willing to take a break, even if it means waiting for the right opportunity.
