The newly appointed Nagelsmann had his fair share of experience from his coaching stint at the club level. According to the reports, his appointment as the German national coach is orchestrated till July 2024. He began his career as an assistant manager for TSG Hoffenheim in 2013. The 36-year-old will be the second youngest ever to manage Germany on the national stage.
On the other hand, before getting sacked Hansi Flick had coached the German team in a total of twenty-five matches. The 58-year-old earlier led the Bundesliga side FC Bayern Munich before joining the German national team. Flick managed Bayern for eighty-six matches from November 2019 to June 2021. Earlier he was also an assistant manager at the club.
It is quite surprising to know that he was also replaced at Bayern by Nagelsmann. There are quite a few similarities between both managers. Both of them prefer a formation of four-two-three-one while picking their team. Flick also got the German national job while coaching Bayern Munich and now Nagelsmann has been attributed with the same position.
