Where should Julian Nagelsmann go next? Bonus podcast - www.patreon.com/collection/23...
Julian Nagelsmann is one of the world’s most interesting and unique football coaches. So much so, it’s not easy to define exactly what kind of manager he is.
So today I’m exploring the tactics of one of the most in-demand coaches in the world. His philosophy in and out of possession, and his ability to confuse every single analyst (including me).

I discuss whether Barcelona and Liverpool should make Nagelsmann their top priority over on Patreon! www.patreon.com/collection/231683?view=expanded
It would be cool if you made a video about Pep/Tito’s Barcelona
Do you have a Twitter (X) page?
You need to make a video about Sarri, watch his Napoli side between 2015 to 2018, 2017/18 was the peak of that football, its really something we dont see often today and his tactics changed a lot since he went to chelsea, his Napoli played a lot Narrower than his Chelsea and today his lazio side.
Hi can you please do a video on Hansi Flicks football ideology and possible setups if he becomes Barca manager
What about chelsea
I feel like you are the only analyst I know who appreciates this man like I do. His Bayern sacking was the harshest and worst sacking I have ever seen. Love the video as always!
The worst sacking have to be when Madrid sacked Del Bosque even though he was succeeding just cause he wanted a few more defenders😂
Carlo Ancelotti at Chelsea also springs to mind.
Sacking of Negelsmann and hiring Tuchel is fucking bullshit.
exactly what he needs to invent something even more innovative :)
Neuer and Muller begs Kahn to sack him
Pls do a deep dive on Flick as well
No one rates Flick apart from barca fans.
Klopp, Jurgen Low, Flick, Nagelsmann 🐐🇩🇪
the German mentality is phenomenal
@@Binu955 who says that I'm a Munich fan flick is a great coach he didn't succeed Germany cuz he needs time with the players and international matches are totally different ball park. imo flick is better than nagalsmann.
Flick please.
@@Binu955I guess a sextuple counts for nothing then
Nagelsmann intrigues me in the best of ways and I just wish he was still at Bayern
Still can't get in my head that decision from Kahn and Salihamidzic
Worst decision ever. Bayern would be top of the league and could have had a better chance against City with Nagelsmann.
It was just so harsh, didn't make sense at all. When Nagelsmann arrived I was really happy, I saw potential in him to be the coach for 10+ seasons
Looking at Bayern with Tuchel is just so sad. It's boring, mechanical and gray
I miss Nagelsmann, I really do
Unbeaten in the champions league group stages and still got sacked and bayern barely won the league
He did not fit their “elitist brand” and they were unhappy with that. So they got rid of him regardless of its consequences.
City Were still better @@BIazy
He shouldnt have joined the national team. He is way too tactical, he is a "club manager". Same thing with Spaletti. And same with Enrique before them. They all made a wrong decision imo.
It's Bayern's stupidity that they sacked him and bought Tuchel
He will only do the euros, after the summer he wants to go back to club football
Joining national team is not wrong decision. Its the highest honour to lead them. Also Forza Inter
@@fuzon9895 I mean it's crazy to rate Tuchle over him😂
@@balkovecblaz I know but coaching a NT is different from coaching a club, when you're the NT coach you don't have a lot of time to practice complicated tactics. International football is all about chemistry between the players and strong mentality. Also forza Inter 💪
dude this is one of the best tactical analysis i have seen on youtube. I was always a great fan of how the goals of nagelsmanns teams came to be, always combining through the middle instead of thomas tuchel ball just crossing in and praying, you can see how the style of play was perfectly fitted for bayern munichs players, with fast pace players on the flanks making the game wide and passing the ball to technically strong players like musiala who could maneuver in tight spaces and had always options to execute a pass to a lethal striker like lewandowski or executing a pass for a deep run of bayerns fast pace wingers and wing backs and the defensiv rotation was perfect like during the psg game, i just remember how i watched the game and thought, this is football at the highest level.
Great video!
I can only recommend you to get to know about Fabian Hürzeler (he might be the next big thing).
Currently coaching FC St. Pauli in Bundesliga 2 and being the youngest coach at 30 years of age in Germany’s top leagues. Since being coach Hürzeler has an insane record of only 3 Losses in about 80 Games. His tactics are quite impressive and he will surely be coaching in the Bundesliga next season whether its with St. Pauli, which sit in First atm, or another club, likely Bayer Leverkusen as they play quite similar and also similar to Brighton.
Cheers
Need him at Barça
My dream coach for Barca
fr. idk why he isn't linked to the job.
Our management is busy to get their homies on the board
I doubt he'd want Barca, way too much politics going on behind the scenes to allow any manager the atmosphere to actually manage a team
I dont think he wanna go to a club which will lose against his favorite club
@@Subha95 no reminders of 8-2 please
Naglesmann would be absolutely perfect for Barcelona; he’s proven time and time again that he can adapt tactically to any opponent and that he doesn’t need a huge budget to get his team playing beautiful football and while getting results. I really hope the Barcelona board are visionary enough to see his brilliance. I’m not a huge fan of the Flick links, because while I respect his incredible achievements he’s only ever managed Bayern at club level and had absolutely everything he needed so didn’t have to do much adapting (although he deserves credit for putting those players in the right system to succeed)
Actually he didn't have everything. He had no control over transfers and that was one of the reasons he left.
@@michamarkowski2204 He didn't leave. He was fired unjustly.
@@lexxihd5843 Who, Flick?
@@lexxihd5843he wasn’t fired. He actually made the decision to leave and Bayern went along with it. Personally, not sure why.
@@lyonkennedy4892 Of course he was fired. Thats why they had to keep paying his wages.
Thanks for analysing Julian Nagelsmann. I started following him since he coached RBL and their gameplay is very fun to watch
A video on Hansi Flick and how he may be the next manager for barca and what he would bring to the table would be quite interesting
You need to check out Joseph Zinnbauers Raja Casablanca. That 4-3-3 he is using is sometimes a 5-2-4, sometimes a 5-4-1, then a 2-3-5. Wingers sometimes play central, sometimes they are in the back line. And all this chaos works, they are undefeated while not having a striker!😮
Careful mate....barca, my club Liverpool, bayern, Chelsea, Newcastle Brighton, manU are looking for their next coach.....😅pushing your fave coach to the spotlight might gained traction.....
What do you think about Thiago Motta he made Bologna play some nice possesion based football, and he has history with Barcelona.
Always a Joy to watch your videos!
I wish that you can do an unbiased Enersto Valverde's tenure at Barcelona especially the tactics
Nagelsmann is a modern-day tactician, adept at utilizing wide areas and maintaining a tight defense with high pressing football. He adjusts his tactics by reading the game, making our players more likely to fit into his system due to the similarity in style.
I think Liverpool may have just found their Klopp replacement.
And for me, I just found another person that's mirroring what I want in football philosophy, too bad I don't get to watch a lot of Bundesliga.
I would love to see him at Barca , his space creating principles are similar to that of Marcelo bielsas and I think it would fit Barca’s philosophy. It’s a bit different from Barca’s system but it might be the fresh perspective that the club needs.
barca don't have energetic players for any kind of pressing. Forget Pressing trap or geggenpress😂😂
@@shineshadman1981Barça dominantes possession so they usually worry about being press resistant, they also plays a very high line and they never changes that.
And you are wrong about Barça lacking vigorous players. For example young players like Gavi make so many recoveries , he is so vigorous. Most of their core players are youngsters . The problem they are having is with injuries of their youngsters. Gavi's abscensce have deeply affected the intensity.
One of my favourite managers of all time... His sacking at Bayern still haunts me to this day lol
Great video!
He’s super fascinating. Thanks!
And this is exactly why I want Nagelsmann at Barca 🔵🔴
Xavi ball
The idea of the Nagelsmann football is in my opinion very interesting! Though I think that he lacked to implement his players to be active at all times. It is a reoccurring thing at Bayern that in big games players tend to be passive. That happened in the game against Leverkusen at the weekend as well as the early exit in the CL against Villareal. Pro footballers know how to play football!! Thats a fact!! And being too complicated with tactics can be hindering for the players. But exactly that is the pojnt - „playing“ should be the focus. Leverkusen of course are not the type of team that are only doing stepovers, elasticos etc. but moving freely into dangerous regions. Adapting to the opponent with the knowledge how the opposing team is going to play (Alonso had a very good idea of how Bayern would play - man to man pressing). I think this is the main flaw in his game that he couldn‘t create an overall structure that allowed his players to adapt using their intuition. I am myself a Bayern supporter since the arrival of Ribery (GOAT!😉) and it hurts my soul to see them struggle so bad at this moment - in my opinion it is a big problem that Bayern HAS to win the league every year otherwise there will be a crisis. And the fear of said crisis lead to irrational ideas - to sack Nagelsmann. Seeing Tuchel coach the team in that way with uninteresting football is just sad to watch because the players that are at hand have the potential to be world class but they have to be utilised correctly! A 4-2-3-1 with Dier as the holding six, Kimmich as a number eight, Musiala at the 10 and wingers in the half spaces would be awesome in my opinion… !
You mean he cannot get his message across to his players? Surely that's the most important part of management. He is quoted as saying management is as much social intereaction as it is tactics, but this guy can't get the social interaction bit right?!
@@davidlean1060 Not quite. It was obvious that the way he wanted his teams to play worked to a certain degree. Last season in the first part of the season Bayern were on a roll. But when it got difficult against stronger opponents or sitautions when the demands on a player was higher his team failed. They failed because of inactivity... breaking a low block against Villareal or a must win game against Kiel in the DFB-Pokal were high stake games but the players stopped doing what is necessary to break a low block against named teams. E.g. runs behind the defensive line or direct chipballs in behind... they just stopped doing that! And that is a different type of social interaction than convincing the players his way of playing football was good. It is reassuring the players of their abilities!
That still suggests some sort of breakdown in communication, perhaps. That said, I wonder if their current form is proof that there's something wrong with the team itself and not Nagelsmann. Xabi Alonso's team are giving Bayern a problem they have grown too complacent to answer. @@janisschmid3880
@@janisschmid3880The game against Kiel was under Flick
Thank you for this in depth opinion, I liked the way Bayern played with him but didn't understand why. Now I do. I hope Barca can consider him after Xavi.
A sad reality of Bayern is that the players have A LOT of power and Pep was probably the last coach most players respected. They fought with Ancelotti, they helped get Nagelsmann sacked and now they're fighting with Tuchel. Tuchel even said that he also had to simplify his tactics for the Bayern players. There's rumors the Bayern board will stick with Tuchel, despite results, to get the players with overblown egos out. I'm all for it.
That's why they were nicknamed Fc Hollywood in the 80s and 90s.
This was an incredibly informative video. Subscribed.
I think it would be really interesting to see him at Liverpool.
You need to make a video about Sarri, watch his Napoli side between 2015 to 2018, 2017/18 was the peak of that football, its really something we dont see often today and his tactics changed a lot since he went to chelsea, his Napoli played a lot Narrower than his Chelsea and today his lazio side.
That Napoli side was a joy to watch!
Getting third in the league and winning europa league with chelsea and getting sacked which is a mad
@@danielf81 yeah, its my favourite team ever, without counting with Peps Barça beacuse that was out of this world
@@williamwallace1097 it was really a shame, i think if he had stayed chelsea would have been one of the best sides in europe with the investment they made after Sarri, but you know, sometimes karma hits you hard.... :D
@@williamwallace1097he didnt get sacked he chose to leave
Good work. I like Julian's style of play, very direct and aggressive but still very unpredictable. Kindly do Ruben Amorim of Sporting Lisbon next.
Might be ur best video yet
thanks :)
This is so great !!!
Great work !!!
🎉❤
Thanks :)
Terrific work this.
I really love your work. Pls do more
A manager that doesnt mind adapting to how another team plays would be a breath of fresh air compared to xavi who seems too stubborn to ever adapt his game plan
Yes, Xavi never changes his system no matter what, it's always the same thing and by doing that he always hopes to find a different outcome everytime which is really stupid. I was highkey sad when he announced he was leaving at the Ed of the season coz I really wanted to see him succeed at barca, but then again him not being flexible and adaptable was passing me off
@@user-yn4xz1dp4b I have the exact same sentiment. Sad to see him go, but his stubborness is costing the team. Yes we have players in poor form, but xavi isnt helping it either
Xavi actually adapts his tactics but his philosophy is the same in every matches, to have the ball and create chances
@@FirstLast-rf3mp It took him around 8-10 games of bad performances to even try CHristensen at pivot, so you can see he's reluctant to experiment
@@user-yn4xz1dp4bcome on that stubbornness is what's needed at your club . He set the standards and the players didn't match . The worst part for you guys was you all didn't give him enough time and were impatient with him t
I hope I see him in Milan because our club lacked this tactical complexity for years now
Great video. I think he is definetly one of the best coaches out there.
Great Video again, love the content
Cheers!
@@thepurist_ would love to see a video in the future comparing the styles of the top managers (de Zerbi, Emery, nagelsmann, Alonso etc)
@@AtlantisFootballwhat you think United should sign Naggelsman??
i dont hate Pochettino ,i just think hes nt tactically flexible enough ,i was supprised chelsea chose him over Nagelsman hes also young and would have grown with the team and tactically marvelous
Julian said no to Chelsea.
He should coach Barça. He‘ll bring the team to another level, but Lewandowski won‘t be happy, as he‘s found Nagelsmanns approach too complex 😂
Thanks for this analysis, very insightful and easy to follow, even for a layman like myself. As a German I was first sceptical when they appointed Nagelsmann for our national team, but after the radical, brave and needed changes he did in the last months I am now more optimistic that we will survive the group round - which I and many of my fellow countrymen were not sure before. During the period of the recent friendlies against France and Holland he gave some very interesting DFB press conferences to state that he actually - as you said - is happy to experiment and willing to give younger, less (internationally) experienced players like Stuttgart's Deniz Undav or Chris Führich a chance while all the traditionallists say that they cannot play at the UEFA Euro 24 since they have not played CL or EL before. He said that he got the chance at 28 to become head coach of a Bundesliga club as you mentioned, which some also considered crazy at that time and he want to pass this on. He is very self aware and reflective and knows the football business well. Although he gives the DFB a good fresh perspective (like Klinsmann did 2004-06) I think he sees himself more like a club coach, as he stated that he cannot work on longer or complex stuff with the national team when they only meet for a couple of days or weeks a year. I think it would be good for Germany if he stayed until the Fifa WC 2026, but if Barca or some other high caliber club reaches out he might go there. And then we have to wait for Klopp to finish his sabatical to take of the German team which every football fan here is waiting for 🙂
Fantastic videos man
He was my top pick after Koman was sacked out of Barca. But a part of me would also like to see what someone like Deniz could do in Europe.
Please do Flick as well. We need to understand both options we have
😂😂
Yall will end up with someone totally lets be real
He's one of my favorites players
the way i love this man my fav for the barca deal
This was awesome!
Kinda similar to Trpisovsky in Slavia Prague. You should check him out
As a basketball ball, the idea of waiting for a trigger play to initiate trap is so key towards a double-team trap. I love using this concept to coach teenagers, especially when you know you are going to play teams that might be more skilled and more athletic than you. Waiting to soak up pressure is the worst thing to do with a team that is less skilled than your opponents; you have to absorb and stand your ground high (and away from the basket) in order to find positivity on defense.
Please do a deep dive on Mikel Arteta
its just like atalanta's gesperini tactic. when one wingback crossing from his side lane, the others wingback will join in to the enemy box to receive ball and do heading or shooting to increase change of making goal to his team.
We need a video on xabi tactics lil bro
He was the first to play a defender in the cdm position with upamecano at leipzig
Depending on how Ineos see Erick Ten Hag in the summer i could see them maybe consider Nagelsmann as part of their overhaul to really instil an attacking style that is "modern" as ratcliffe puts it himself in a recent interview.
hes still young with experience now and would be an interesting option to really build a Man United that is back at the top.
i still back Erick as i always will a manager of the club i support but i can understand in the summer after the issues and recent performance they decide to go with their own man to take over.
Analysis about who would be the best choice for Barca? (available of course) Thank you!!
I´d like to see a deep dive into Xabi´s Leverkusen, haven´t been able to see them enough this season.
Can you make a video on how flick work at Barca with pros cons tactics etc
I think the big problem was, that the players when let of the leash, could yes fully utilize their talent and make plays, but they seemed to be less and less aware of their responsibilities. You mentioned the "optional" width, which sadly no one seemed to feel responsible to establish. At most times I'd say one side should establish width, but it seemed like only Coman and Davies were ever naturally doing so frequently enough. At the same time both Kimmich and Goretzka were pushing up consistently, leaving the defensive midfield unoccupied and crowding the center even further. This is why they struggled so much against low blocks. As long as you could hold the center Bayern seemed to have no real way of breaking you down. This was obviously made even worse by the lack of a center forward who could consistently convert off of crosses. Meanwhile if you lost the ball the center was open for a counter attack way too often.
he's a wonderful coach and he's going to do really well in the future
All very well observed!
His football and tactics really fit Borussia Dortmund
Barça, in theory, but in practice? Could be an interesting vid: where and why he could go; a club could take advantage.
Love this analysis! Great stuff. Was wondering if there was any chance of a Jupp Heynckes Bayern Treble? I'd argue his team was more robust and faced tougher opposition in 12/13
Edit: Holy moly just saw the Flick vid go up!
Was having a discussion recently about who should replace Southgate as England manager. I’d be fascinated to see what Nagelsman would do with Bellingham, Saka, and Foden. It’s unlikely it would happen as I’d assume he’d want a return to club management, but we can dream!
Elite/world class managers don't usually coach internationally in the middle of their career, and in the past we've hired managers that should've been much better than Southgate on paper, yet they achieved abysmal results. Whomever succeeds Southgate needs to continue the strong team culture that's been built (not sure if Nagelsmann is that guy), or England will go nowhere
Please do one on hansi flick
What i understood especially from the end of this vid 11:53 , is that his style (Nagelsmann) and tactics suits weak and average teams so i think he suits the current team of barcelona or chelsea
Make a video about Inzaghi and Inter, looking very interesting this season
Purist Football would you prefer nagliesman over Hansi Flick?
Yes, though it’s a little unfair bc I haven’t done an equal deep-dive into Flick
Make a deep dive on Flick, I like both for Barca @@thepurist_
@@thepurist_I will want flick over nagelsmann because I feel with him he brings a sense of consistency n sharpness Barcelona have been lacking for a while and his teams are ruthless.
@@icariusnegus6560 yeah bc our German national team has been so ruthless lmao
@@shodaime93 What about nagelsman germany? Is it good? I havent watch any.
Can you please do one about Hansi Flick
Would love to see a video about 2008 Arsenal, prime Wengerball imo!
Having followed him since Hoffenheim, glad to see someone else getting a bit confounded by his philosophy 😂
Welcome to brighton Nailman ❤
Please do a deep dive on Luis Enrique
Hi Puriest football, Do you think Ten Hag allows his players to be the problem solvers in possession instead of creating a set structure or plan for example Dalot inverts depending on the game state and situation?
please make video on Hansi Flick tactics & if it would suit FC Barcelona
Relative width with raphinha and ferran/torres or whoever will be next season, could be perfect in Barca but i don't think that nagelsmann's approach to team and players that he had before would be suitable. So his tacticts are 10/10 for current Barcelona but his way of "managing" is for something like PSG or Juve where you dictate your "tempo"(principles of doings) without interference of other outside factors(media, opposite players and coaches even league's president etc.)
At the end, even though nobody is going to read this, I think his work, tactics and approach in general is more suitable for teams and clubs who have less outside pressure(for example he can be great replacement for klopp because fans can relate and understand him more then "other" teams) then national teams or Barca, Real, Bayern etc.
Nagelsmann is one of footballs brightest minds l think he fita in clubs where hes given freedom to experiemnt with less critism
Great video as always i have a question purist.I have seen ur posts on twitter wanting managers like pep to allow players the ability to problem solve on their own and loosen the rigid structures.My question is if it goes wrong,the same way it did for nagelsmann,is Pep then liable for that because the players dont get sacked but it is the manager.I remember Torrent(Peps assistant at bayern) saying players did not follow Pep's instructions when they lost 4-0 to Real Madrid in 2014.When such situitions occur is the manager liable?
Can we get a video on Zidane tactics?
this just convinced me we should get flick instead
he has always been a man willing to adapt around his principles.... he fields teams according to opponents weakeness
Very interesting video. He could maybe move to EPL. Maybe Newcastle or Brighton. Newcastle seem very organised & play according to coach's plans. Brighton as there are younger & skilled players. Very aggressive style of play & seem open to try to new ideas.
liverpool need this crazy man
Would Be great to see him at Milan next season. Let us dream.
The relative width is a lead line of the DFB. Hansi Flick worked a lot of principles out as he was earlier in the DFB. One of them was the relative width. Its not a Nagelsman thing. The DFB says as deep as possible and wide as necasaary.
Can you do a video of Xabi Alonso's setup vs Nagelsmann?
Great video, though the 5-3-2 comment was not correct, he did run this at Bayern. Specifically, I saw this in his last game against Bayer Leverkusen.
My bad, thanks for letting me know!
I feel like Liverpool will be a perfect match for him. Of all the best teams they are unique because of how dierct and forward-thinking they are. Nagelsmann will embrace that rather than try to make then more slow, would be very intereseting to see him at Liverpool
One of the coach that I want for Liverpool if the club failed got Alonso..
But got a feeling the timing is not right, Liverpool probably want the manager after the season end and Nagelsman probably need have to wait until EURO
On which site can I watch soccer games? Where did you get the video material?
Just a gut feeling but i see him at chelsea next. It'll be good for his next managerial career and good for chelsea as well.
He is very close to Allegri approach. I will be happy to see him at Juventus in the future.
Would u kindly make a video on Allegri
When i watch this video, can’t help but to think Bayern sacking Nagelsman they really took us from Pep v Nagelsman last season and Nagelsman v Alonso this season. What a loss as a football fans.
Hopefully we will get it, also wish that in the future Nagelsman v Klopp and Nagelsman v Ancelloti’s Real Madrid
I'd like to see him at the Reds (Liverpool)
Do u think his tactics would fit barcelona and what players do u think would benefit the most from his tactics?
Pedri, Gavi , Felix , Torres , Yamal all of them would benefit narrow style of play
Manchester United needs Julian Nagelsman
Can you do an analyse about Inzaghi Inter?
They are impossible to stop
I don't know name of the sturttgart coach he is also big coach coming he come last season may and save them from relegation and this season they are 3rd team of the table plays beutifull football his squad is small players hope he get attention he deserve
Sebastian Hoeneß, I agree with you, he looks like a very interesting coach
this video made me understand alot of his disicions at bayern but his approach altho gave gengen pressing and possession his lack of wingplay meant that when facing a deep block his central combinations were useless esspecially with the lack of width to stretch the back line,also no wide players meant no crosses which is the reason why he failed to beat deep blocks, he's overall a good manager but i dont think he was ready to be the manager of a club of bayerns size due to his lack of experience
One of my most favorite coach after Jupp
Make one on hansi flick pls
I personally think that he fits every club in europe, be that real madrid, liverpool or even city. Problem is which club is willing to give him time and support?
Pls do a deep dive on Luis Enrique's PSG
