RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann has been recognised as one of the best coaches in the world, emerging onto the scene with his work with Hoffenheim. The German managed to push the club into the Champions League for the first time in their history, before moving over to Leipzig.
His work with the Red Bulls has been remarkable as well, managing to navigate into the semi-finals of the Champions League only to be knocked out by his former mentor and ex-PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
The 33-year-old has now opened up about the prospect of one day managing in the Premier League, with many clubs from all over the continent interested in pursuing his services.
Here is what he had to say regarding a future in management in England to the Telegraph ahead of Leipzig’s Champions League clash against Liverpool:
‘I have a contract now until 2023 so I think I will stay in Leipzig.
‘The Premier League is a very interesting league and I can imagine it could be a big aim to be a big manager in the Premier League one day like Jurgen who is very successful. It could be a step in the future.
‘But, you know, in soccer it’s not that easy to plan how long will you be a manager in Leipzig? When will you go to the Premier League? I could imagine going to the Premier League.
‘I could imagine staying as a manager in the Bundesliga for my whole career. It’s cool to be a manager in my own country, I love it. But then perhaps in the future we can meet face-to-face in the Premier League, who knows.’
