Julian Nagelsmann's entourage confirmed reasons for turning down Chelsea approach

By -
Julian Nagelsmann’s agent Volker Struth has confirmed in a podcast that Chelsea did approach his client right after the sacking at Bayern Munich in March.


Struth went on to stress Nagelsmann did reject the approach due to multiple reasons, starting from their situation at the time to their transfer policy.

He said; “I can confirm that Chelsea were quick to call [after Nagelsmann’s dismissal at Bayern]. It was the right decision by Nagelsmann not to go there. It’s a club in troubled waters at the moment” 

“Chelsea’s transfer policy, spending a few hundred million Euros, has raised expectations that need to be met. There were also other issues. He was their number 1 choice, that was our information. I believe it would have happened if he wanted it.”

Chelsea went on to appoint Frank Lampard on interim basis but it's not been the best of return for the former club manager as the club has recorded just a win in eight games under him, losing seven times. 

Chelsea are now close to appointing former Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino, who left PSG last summer after 18 months with the Parisiens, which saw him his first titles as manager.

Nagelsmann has also been approached by Tottenham Hotspur but at the moment, nothing is concrete. The wait to see where the former Leipzig manager will work next continues.

Another Newcastle defeat means time to go BIG on Eddie Howe might be about right

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund; a pragmatic solution to Manchester United's needs despite likely consequences

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m

Victor Osimhen crowned Africa's Best For the first time since Kanu Nwankwo 24 years ago, a Nigerian player has won the most prestigious individual accolade in African football with striker Victor Osimhen beating Mohamed Salah and Achraf Hakimi to the CAF Men's Player of the Year award. Osimhen, who enjoyed a sensational year with Napoli, delivering their first Scudetto in 33years and helping them to a first-ever quarter final place in the UEFA Champions League was always front-runner for the award, moreso after Riyad Mahrez failed to make the final three. Aside his conquests with Napoli, the 24-year-old striker was also unplayable in the AFCON qualifiers, scoring ten goals in six games and finishing as top scorer of the qualificatio
