Newcastle United are looking at 36-year-old former Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann as a potential Eddie Howe replacement.
According to Christian Falk, Newcastle United are considering appointing Julian Nagelsmann as their new boss starting next season. The German national team boss is considering his future and he could look to return to club football.
Nagelsmann’s managerial journey
Despite being just 36, Nagelsmann is already a big name in the world of football because of what he has already done in his short career. He first proved himself at TSG Hoffenheim, then took the next step with RB Leipzig before making things click at Bayern Munich.
The chapter with the German giants didn’t really go according to plan as he was sacked despite his team doing a great job on the field. Just months after parting ways with Bayern, Nagelsmann was handed an offer to take charge of the German national team who had been struggling for form ahead of the Euros.
The former RB Leipzig boss will be leading the host nation into the continental tournament in the summer. But with his contract with the national team running out after the Euros, he could return to club football sooner than expected.
While the manager is yet to make a decision on whether to extend his stay with the national team or return to club football, clubs have already started making moves to land him on their bench.
Newcastle keen on former Bayern boss
Newcastle United are one of the clubs interested in the 36-year-old. The Magpies are seriously considering moving on from Eddie Howe who hasn’t been able to repeat the heroics from last season.
Howe did wonders for Newcastle last season as he guided them to a top-four finish and helped them qualify for the Champions League. But, that is a story of the past, his team have been struggling in the ongoing season and his future is under scrutiny.
If things don’t improve the Magpies could sack him. And, they have already identified a potential replacement in Nagelsmann who will be free to return to club football after his contract with the national team runs out.
The former Bayern manager shares the same agency with Newcastle’s Fabian Schar and that relation could help them lure the 36-year-old to the club.
