100 Quotes by Julian Nagelsmann

For me, being a top coach means more than just teaching football. That includes empathy, it means that you can speak to a group, that you can deal with the media - you have to be able to do all of that. I would not describe myself as blind in this regard, but a top coach also includes titles.

I am very, very happy in my life but Bayern Munich would make me a little bit happier.

Thirty per cent of coaching is tactics, 70% social competence.
