The 28-year-old, now the youngest coach in Bundesliga history, was due to take charge of the Sinsheim club on a three-year contract in the summer, but parachuted in earlier than expected after the departure of Dutch veteran Huub Stevens. He was dismissed from his post for reasons of physical fitness.
“It’s a huge challenge, compounded by the position in the standings,” Nagelsmann said as he prepared to oversee first-team education for the first time, even though he is still studying for his higher education license. “I’m looking forward to racing with the team and giving them a new impetus in my own way. “
The former Hoffenheim Under-19 coach, whose playing career was cut short at the age of 20 by injury, will make his Bundesliga debut this weekend against SV Werder Bremen. The Kraichgauers are 17th in the standings after 20 games.
