Pochettino’s time at Spurs never recovered from losing last season’s Champions League final. Had the clash against Liverpool in Madrid gone the other way, there is every chance the Argentine would have bowed out on top. Instead, he lumbered on until November, when he was sacked, paving the way for Mourinho’s return to the Premier League.
After three-and-a-half seasons transforming Hoffenheim from battling for Bundesliga survival to qualifying for the Champions League, Leipzig knew Nagelsmann was the man they wanted to fulfil Red Bull’s ambitious project to dethrone Bayern Munich as the kings of German football.“It’s like when you go to a disco and you are single, you’ll never find a girl,” Nagelsmann said of the interest that followed him signing a contract with Leipzig.
“Jose has experience in every sort of situation,” added Nagelsmann. “He has managed so many knockout games and knows what to do if his team goes ahead, is behind, concedes early, needs a late goal. I’ve only had knockout games in the DFB-Pokal [German Cup].”
