The ex-Manchester United manager, who mentored Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, believes Spurs have the right set-up - but he would benefit with a sporting director with him. Last month, Ralf Rangnick suggested Nagelsmann should go for the Tottenham job. Ralf Rangnick has suggested Nagelsmann should take over at Tottenham but would benefit from working with a sporting director Rangnick: Nagelsmann should go to Tottenham He had previously stated "it's important as a manager that you feel a club believes in you and your methods" and that it appeals to him "to work where the structure is clear, where there are not 20 guys all with an opinion that takes you in different directions". Nagelsmann had reservations over the role himself and sensed that Chelsea's varied shortlist, reflected a lack of clarity about the direction they want to take.

Nagelsmann, who was sacked as Bayern boss last month, was never regarded as the favourite for the job internally at Chelsea.įriction between the two sides grew as Chelsea officials were determined to carry out a thorough due diligence on all of the candidates before making a decision - with the German coach resenting the repeated interviews and requests for information. Nagelsmann had previously held talks with Chelsea but he is no longer under consideration for the Blues' managerial vacancy with Mauricio Pochettino the frontrunner to take over at Stamford Bridge.
