(Reuters) - RB Leipzig’s Julian Nagelsmann, whose side will be chasing a first Bundesliga title when the German league resumes next weekend, is to practise coaching while wearing a face mask in order to be ready for a return to action.
The 32-year-old, known in his early coaching days as the ‘Baby Mourinho’, has a well-earned reputation for attention to detail and will use practice games this weekend to get used to the peculiarities of coaching amid the coronavirus health crisis.
Nagelsmann told a virtual news conference on Friday that he expected it would prove difficult to shout instructions to his players, even though they will be playing in empty stadiums where his voice will easily carry. “I’ll have to pull the mask off my face to scream and then put it back on again when I stop. That’s not going to be easy to co-ordinate,” he said.
