The German coach has labeled the English top-flight league as ‘interesting’ and says he could follow the footsteps of his compatriot Jurgen Klopp, who made a move to join Liverpool after his last adventure in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund.
Nagelsmann has established himself as one of the best managers in Europe since becoming the head coach of Hoffenheim at the age of 28.
He guided Leipzig to their first-ever Champions League semi-finals last season while also helping the team to a third-place Bundesliga finish.
Now at 33, Nagelsmann has already been linked with big European clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich.
Ahead of Leipzig’s Champions League encounter with Liverpool on Tuesday, the German has revealed he could manage a Premier League club in the future.
“I have a contract now until 2023 so I think I will stay in Leipzig,” Nagelsmann said in an exclusive interview with The Telegraph.
“The Premier League is a very interesting league and I can imagine it could be a big aim to be a big manager in the Premier League one day like Jurgen [Klopp], who is very successful. It could be a step in the future.
“You know, in soccer it’s not that easy to plan ‘how long will you be a manager in Leipzig? When will you go to the Premier League? I could imagine going to the Premier League.
“I could imagine staying as a manager in the Bundesliga for my whole career. It’s cool to be a manager in my own country, I love it. Then perhaps in the future we can meet face-to-face in the Premier League, who knows.”
