SER: Nagelsmann, ahead of Koeman on Laporta's list

Julian Nagelsmann is ahead of Ronald Koeman in the list of coaches that Joan Laporta is considering for his new project at Barcelona, as reported by Manu Carreño in 'El Larguero' of Cadena SER. Laporta has in esteem Ronald Koeman, whom he tried to sign in his first stage in the presidency of the culé entity although Frank Rijkaard finally arrived, but understands that the Dutchman is Josep María Bartomeu's coach.

Nagelsmann, at 33, is a prodigy on the bench. He is currently the coach of RB Leipzig, after emerging at Hoffenheim, and is at the top of the preferences of the big clubs in Europe. “Laporta respects Koeman a lot but he would not have signed him for his project. He may continue, but he likes other coaches better, including Nagelsmann “, Manu Carreño points out in Cadena SER.

Laporta and his new right-hand man, Mateu Alemany, will have to decide between now and the end of the season if Koeman, who has a contract until 2022, continues, or if they will go after other candidates. Nagelsmann, one of the names that ring to replace Joachim Löw at the head of the German team after the European Championship, has a contract with the energy drink team until 2023.

Alvaro Benito, AS columnist and SER commentator, praised the German technician in The spar. “He is a coach that I love. He has been able to take the test bench that he does in formative football to professional football. He makes the players he trains better and has been seen at Leipzig. “
