Quotes from Julian Nagelsmann

I'm not very fond of the first official act with a player being to immediately discuss his contractual situation.

It's important as a manager that you feel a club believes in you and your methods. Oliver Mintzlaff and Ralf Rangnick showed me this.

You can only be successful if you have fun and don't get too stressed.

When I analyse an opponent I do not look at the results. I try to find out how they score goals, concede, build up play, counter attack, counter-press, other things. So the result doesn't count for much.

I don't think much of automatisms, because they assume that a situation is always the same, otherwise the process no longer works. But that doesn't fit the reality with 22 players on the pitch. If the opponent is only half a metre to the left, the player suddenly doesn't know what he has to do.

My philosophy is to attack the opponents near their own goal because your own way to the goal is not as along, if you get the ball higher up.

I work like a baker. I mix things, put them in the oven and see if I like what comes out.

I often deliberately overwhelm my players. If I give them 10 things a day and they learn four of them, I'm happier than if I stick to the learning theory where the goal is a maximum of five things per day and then they only remember two.

I watched not only English football but also Serie A, Primera Divison. I wanted to become a professional so it was important to watch games and look at what the best players in Europe do.

The feeling of pleasure and enjoyment from what we do is extremely important. It creates trust and respect when you walk into the dressing room or onto the pitch.

Winning is what matters and winning is entertaining.

I am one who coaches very aggressively and screams loudly so that my players can hear me.

I watch a lot of Liverpool and Manchester City.

I watched a lot of games in the Theatre of Dreams and of Manchester United on television.
