Former Bayern Munich Manager Julian Nagelsmann is set to become the manager of this shocking Premier League Club
There are rumours that Erik ten Hag’s future at Manchester United is uncertain, which could make it hard for the club to make a management choice.
United’s success has dropped this season, in part because of injuries. With 10 league games left, they are eight points behind a top four spot. With the new football hierarchy at the club, Ten Hag’s job is thought to be getting more attention. The Manchester Evening News has learned that Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s Ineos Group have looked at possible replacements in case they decide they need a new manager in the next few months.
According to some sources, Julian Nagelsmann is being thought about as a possible replacement. Nagelsmann, who used to be the head coach of Bayern Munich, is getting ready for a busy summer as he leads Germany at Euro 2024. The Germany manager is said to be thinking about his club football image before the tournament starts in his own country.
According to Sky Sport Germany and The Express, Nagelsmann can’t wait to get back to managing clubs after the Euros this summer. The 36-year-old hopes to make an announcement about his next job before the event starts. He wants to become a manager for a club in the 2024–25 season.
The story says this is because the former Hoffenheim coach wants to keep his mind on the German national team and not get distracted by negotiations that are going on during the competition. Because of the upcoming event, hiring Nagelsmann would change how a club plans to spend its off-season. However, The Express says that United would still look at the German teacher if they chose to hire someone instead of Ten Hag.
Clubs that want to sign Nagelsmann might have to put off their pre-season plans because he has to finish his tasks with Die Mannschaft first. Even so, it is said that Manchester United would still look at him if they decide to replace Ten Hag at the end of the season.
Since the INEOS group moved into Old Trafford last year, United’s inconsistent play has led to rumours of a new boss. But Ten Hag’s prospects could depend on how much money the club has.
The Times says that firing Ten Hag could cost as much as £10 million. This could mean that the former Ajax manager goes on while United works to fix their Financial Fair Play (FFP) problems. United’s wage bill went up by 23% in the second quarter, mostly because they played in the 2023–24 Champions League and finished last in their group, so they had to leave the tournament early.
