Bayern Munich are closing in on the appointment of Julian Nagelsmann as the club’s new manager according to Christian Falk.
Nagelsmann will take over at the end of the season when Hansi Flick steps down. Flick has been heavily tipped to replace Joachim Loew who will depart as manager of the German national side after the European Championships.
The talented coach will depart second place RB Leipzig to take on the Bayern role. It is unclear at this stage who RB Leipzig are lining up as a potential replacement. Their search will step up at the end of the season with RB Leipzig mathematically still in the title race.
Nagelsmann is one of world football’s brightest young coaches and looks set to depart RB Leipzig for the Bayern Munich manager post. According to Falk, Nagelsmann has agreed to take over and the two clubs are discussing a compensation package.

The talented 33 year-old coach has taken the Bundesliga by storm since bursting on the scene with Hoffenheim back in 2016.
He stabilised them before guiding to the Champions League for the first time in their history. Naglesmann oversaw over 100 Bundesliga games in charge of Hoffenheim before joining RB Leipzig in 2019.
Since taking over Leipzig, Naglesmann has guided them to consecutive top four finishes as well as further progression in the Champions League. He guided RB Leipzig to the semi finals of the Champions League last season and once again they progressed to the knockouts this season.
However, his most impressive attributes is his ability to create an exciting, attractive style of play which wins admirers across Europe. His back three system has got the best out of the defenders- in particular the wing backs. He is a great motivator and the players clearly enjoy playing for him.
Naglesmann is always willing to give youth an opportunity and certainly he ticks plenty of Bayern Munich’s boxes. He is a vibrant, talented coach who knows exactly what he wants and how he wants to play.
However, the stakes will now increase for Naglesmann as he potentially takes on the biggest job in German club football. Many have tried and plenty have succeed but some have failed. This will be tough but Naglesmann will relish the challenge ahead.
Bayern Munich live and breath for trophies and Naglesmann must deliver otherwise the net will close in very quickly. He is capable of bringing success and certainly this is a real coup for Bayern Munich.
