Early life
[change | change source]Nagelsmann was born on 23 July 1987 in Landsberg am Lech, Bavaria. He played for FC Augsburg and 1860 Munich at youth level,[6][7] and was the captain of Munich's U17 team.[source?] In the 2006–07 season, he was part of the second team but could not play a single match due to injuries. Nagelsmann returned to Augsburg for the 2007–08 season coached by Thomas Tuchel, but injured his knee and meniscus for the second time, damaging the cartilage.[8] As a result, he decided to end his footballing career at the age of 20.[6][7] He had already assisted his head coach Thomas Tuchel as a scout in the first half of 2008. He studied business administration in university for four semesters until he transferred to sports science.[7] Then he focused on coaching, returning to his previous club 1860 Munich as an assistant to Alexander Schmidt for Munich's U17 team from 2008 to 2010.[6]

He was expected to begin his tenure at the start of the 2016–17 season.[6][10] He was given a three-year contract.[6] At the time of his appointment, Nagelsmann was 28, and the youngest coach in Bundesliga history.[7][10] He was to be the successor for Huub Stevens, who had replaced Markus Gisdol the previous day.[6] On 10 February 2016, Stevens resigned as head coach due to health problems, and Nagelsmann's term as head coach was introduced by the Hoffenheim board a day later.[11]
When Nagelsmann took over the club in February 2016, Hoffenheim were 17th in the table, 7 points from the safety of 15th spot and facing relegation.[8] Under Nagelsmann they avoided relegation by winning 7 of their remaining 14 matches and finished a point above the relegation playoff spot.[8] Their good form continued into the 2016–17 Bundesliga season, where they finished 4th in the table and qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in their history.[12]
