Julian Nagelsmann was among favorites to take over from Hansi Flick as Germany national team manager.
The former Bayern Munich manager made the shortlist for the role, including Liverpool band former Borussia Dortmund manager Jurgen Klopp.
Jurgen Klopp’s agent Kosicke has dismissed rumors linking Jurgen Klopp to the vacant position while reports have also emerged Julian Nagelsmann has also turned down the offer.
Here are some reasons Nagelsmann must have rejected the juicy and prestigious role to be the manager of Germany national team.
Low wage: According to reports, Julian Nagelsmann used to earn £7m every year as Bayern Munich manager but Germany offer only £4m for their national team managed every year. Nagelsmann is not reportedly cool with the offer.
Lack of experience: Nagelsmann is only 35 years old, and he has only been managing at the top level for a few years. He may have felt that he lacked the experience to manage a national team, especially a team like Germany with a lot of pressure and expectation.
Difficult job: The job of managing the Germany national team is notoriously difficult. The team has been underperforming in recent years, and there is a lot of pressure on the manager to succeed. Nagelsmann may have felt that he was not ready for the challenge.
Family reasons: Nagelsmann is married with two young children. He may have felt that the demands of the national team job would be too much for his family life.
Ultimately, only Julian Nagelsmann knows why he turned down the Germany national team job. However, the reasons listed above are all plausible possibilities.
It is also important to note that Nagelsmann has not ruled out managing the Germany national team in the future. He has said that he is open to the idea, but that he is not ready for it right now.
