According to Football Insider, Chelsea and Manchester United are interested in Julian Nagelsmann. He is highly rated across Europe and a talented young manager with a bright future. He is currently managing the German national team, but he is expected to leave them after the World Cup.
The opportunity to manage in the Premier League could be exciting for Nagelsmann, but Mick Brown has revealed on Football Insider that the German manager has reservations about joining Chelsea. In addition, the Blues want to bring in a permanent replacement for Liam Rosenior soon, and they are reluctant to wait until after the World Cup to finalise a deal with the 38-year-old manager.
He said: “BlueCo will move on to their fifth manager since they’ve taken over, which is staggering really.
“There’s been long-term interest in Julian Nagelsmann, the Germany coach, but I hear he’s got reservations about taking the job.
“And again, I don’t think Chelsea will be willing to wait until after the World Cup to bring in a new manager, they want to do it quickly.
“There’ll be a number of candidates that the club are going to look at and evaluate, because they need to get this managerial appointment right.
“They can’t keep chopping and changing managers because it’ll just mean they keep falling behind their big rivals.”
It is no surprise that the German manager is reluctant to join Chelsea. They have an unstable project and could miss out on Champions League qualification in the upcoming campaign.
It seems that a move to Chelsea might not be on the cards for the German manager. The development will come as a boost for Manchester United, who are keeping tabs on him as well.
Michael Carrick has impressed with Manchester United taking over, and it remains to be seen whether the Red Devils are prepared to persist with him. If they decide to make a change and bring in a more reputable manager in the summer, Nagelsmann would be an option.
Manchester United are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to manage them could be exciting for the 38-year-old manager. He has shown his quality in the Bundesliga, and he will look to make his Mark in the Premier League as well.
Nagelsmann is a proactive manager with an adventurous style of play, and his appointment could be met with excitement by Manchester United fans. They have the players to play entertaining football, and the German manager could bring out the best in them.
