The new Bundesliga season starts on Friday with new Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann under pressure to deliver a tenth straight league title for the Bavarian giants in his first year at the helm.
With predecessor Hansi Flick having left to take charge of Germany, 34-year-old Nagelsmann now faces the biggest challenge of his young coaching career.
Nagelsmann is still chasing his first win with Bayern after three defeats and a draw from four pre-season friendlies. Bayern showed their faith by giving Nagelsmann a five-year contract after reportedly paying Leipzig 25 million euros for his services. Bayern have won the Bundesliga every year since 2012/13 and landing a tenth straight German league title is mandatory for the fans and the board.“At Bayern, success has to come very quickly,” insisted Oliver Khan, the club’s new CEO.“We want to continue to belong to the top three in Europe,” he added, even though Bayern went out in the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season.
However, Nagelsmann has a fierce desire to win everything — even down to a round of the family board game Ludo.
