Julian Nagelsmann is looking for his new assistant coach heading towards the FIFA World Cup.
Former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann has already elevated Germany’s status back to the world’s elite nations after relative success in the Nations League and Euro 2024. Despite being trophyless so far, Nagelsmann has a real chance to secure a Nations League title this summer in Munich. However, this will be his swan song with assistant coach, Sandro Wagner.
Wagner has been reportedly seeking a full-time top flight position with a club for months now, and Wagner recently announced that his time with the national team will end after the Nations League finals. This prompted the search for Wagner’s replacement as assistant coach.

Benjamin Hübner and Alfred Schreuder are the candidates reportedly in the running for Naglesmann’s second-hand man. Hübner played under Nagelsmann at TSG Hoffenheim and is now the assistant coach.
Alfred Schreuder has had an interesting career of several different clubs he has managed including Ajax and assisting Ronald Koeman at Barcelona, but has struggled to build a long-term project at any club. Most notably perhaps, he was the assistant behind Nagelsmann at Hoffenheim.
It is difficult to find top managers willing to become an assistant coach, but it is a great job for a young manager. Hopefully, Nagelsmann is able to find a capable manager to replace the promising Wagner.
