Volker Struth, Julian Nagelsmann’s agent, has stated that the former Bayern Munich head coach was correct to decline an offer to manage Chelsea.
In the summer, Chelsea expressed interest in hiring Nagelsmann as their new manager.
However, the 35-year-old withdrew out of the running after Chelsea agreed an agreement with Mauricio Pochettino for the Argentine to take over as manager next season.
“I can confirm that Chelsea were quick to call [after Bayern Munich fired Nagelsmann] .” “There were some phone calls,” Struth told Bild podcast Phrasenmaher.
“Nagelsmann made the correct decision not to go there.” At the time, it is a club in turmoil. And their transfer policy, which cost several hundred million euros has created expectations that must be met.
“There were some other issues as well.” He was their top option, according to our knowledge. If he had desired it, I believe it would have happened.”
