Julien Nagelsmann is one of the brightest managers on the market at the moment.
The 35-year-old was unceremoniously sacked by Bayern Munich after an inconsistent season, replacing him with Thomas Tuchel to little effect.
But Nagelsmann has been on Real Madrid’s radar for some time, and while Carlo Ancelotti’s contract runs until 2024, his future is uncertain. What would the young German manager add to Los Blancos as head coach? Jon Mackenzie is here to explain.

it's terrible to presume Modric & Zidane had that little balance
I'd say it takes incredible balance to be in that position for the whole video.
😂😂😂
this messed me up... OCD
Modric and Zidane hanging for dear life back on the wall 😅😂
order vs chaos
Can you guys please do a video on Arne Slot? I need a slightly awkward man standing in front of a horizontal television to tell me if I should be excited or not about him likely coming to Spurs. Thanks :)
Nagelsmann's RB Leipzig team were a treat to watch. One thing to add, he would also use players in different roles during different phases of play to consistently adapt to what other teams were doing defensively. Key example, sometimes Konrad Laimer would be a 6, sometimes an 8, other times he'd end up at RB depending on where he was needed to break the press or progress the ball. Halstenberg and Klostermann, same thing. Sometimes they'd line up as FB's, other times they be tucking in narrow as LCB/RCB with Upamecano in the middle. The main caveat of all this is he requires players to be adaptable to this method of thinking, something some Bayern players were reluctant to do (mainly because they'd never done it before). If you give him all that youth at Real, especially with the technique they have, plus veterans who are used to a flexible structure and would probably play better the closer they are together since they aren't the fastest, they'd be a juggernaut.
Bit surprised this vid focused on him at Bayern and not Leipzig. Personally I hope he does go to Madrid.
Great analysis, thank you
I'd love to see Nagelsmann at Madrid but the truth is that they're never going to be a system first team like others in Europe, they're always going to be a players first team because of the culture, the last two times they had system managers was Lopetegui and Mourinho who had lots of years between them. Maybe it's been enough time and Madrid are ready to try a system first philosophy again but if they're going to do that then they need to move on the old guard and they're not going to do that this summer. In an ideal world Ancelotti moves on to manage Brasil and Nagelsmann arrives in Madrid but that's just not going to happen right now.
zidane is very much a system manager as much as man management
Nagelsmann is not a "system" manager at all.
Things will defo change, tactical football is the current norm and RM will soon realise that they will have to adapt
The summer 2024 is internally announced as the summer of change because this will be the end of Modric, Kroos, Benzema and Ancelottis contracts and the “big reset“ would fit perfectly. But this decision could lead to a 2019 type of season where Real felt harmless.
However if this is what it takes to get a new style of playing and especially a new style of attacking I would accept it because Real needs some more than “give the ball to Vini“ to compete at the highest level as seen against City imo.

Zidane was never praised for his tactics like Pep, Klopp, Tuchel etc… but he’s great at man-management.
Positioning of the frames in the background is so well thought of it aligns well with the statements ...cheers 🥂
Real Madrid has pretty much've never been about being a Systemic Team. Even when we had José we relied heavily on "parking the bus" so to say but that season we scored 110 goals in league alone. So clearly the counter attacking system heavily relied on Higuain, Benzema & Ronaldo's goal tally with Ozil's killer eyes behind them.
As Madridista myself, I'm more than happy to see what Carlo has acheived in last 2 season. We had no tangible enforcement (except Camavinga & Tchouameni) where it's needed the most i.e. Attackers & Fullbacks. If given the proper squad Carlo is a proven winner. I personally feel Tuchel would've been better suit than Nagelsmann tbh. But for the Managerial change that'll happen in 2024 summer at Real Madrid doughout, Xabi Alonso or Arbeloa could be in the leading position along with Zidane ofc.
Ancelotti has no answers for in possession or out of possession no definite style, no proper build up play no pressing structure. All of these stuff a coach of an elite club cannot be lacking. Ancelotti has relied heavily on players but u absolutely need a proper sytem which the players can rely on. Ancelotti cannot continue as real madrid manager anymore
@@alimagdi343 that’s why he has won all the possible titles in his first 3 seasons coaching real, including two champions league and two presences in the semifinals. Guardiola, for example needed it 7 seasons and x1000 millions in signings to reach two champions league finals and two semi-finals.
Also he has a better winning rate in the matches that he has coached for real than coaching GOAts like Wenger, klopp, Luis Enrique, Tuchel, and many more, plus he is the only manager that has won the league title at Italy, England, France, Germany and Spain.
And do not forget mourinho that in the same number of seasons at real won half the titles than Carlo.
But of course ancelotti doesn’t now nothing about football and all this “clever-sytem” managers are better but decided to let win Carlo for some reason
@@alimagdi343 thats the entire point of not having a systemic team. And also, you're not giving the credit Carlo deserves as an tactician. Real Madrid knows when to let your opponent have the ball, when to sting them and when to turn the screw in the game. Yes we've lost game and by heavy margin but you can't win all day, everyday. Do you seriously think Ancelotti won La Liga, UCL, Supercup, Supercopa, Club World Cup & Copa Del Rey in last 2 season with power of friendship? 😆
Unfortunately he's not an yes man! Perez would never even consider him! 💔 But as a Madridista I badly wanted this man as our manager!
???!??
Zidane was not a yes man nor was Mourinho nor was capello.
💀💀💀💀
@@ishuuuuuu7304 Zidane was not a yes man?
@@akwilson1676
Yes, he wanted Ronaldo to stay, perez didn't listened to him he left, wanted some signings perez refused left again with doing some fight
And maybe you start playing good football
Doubt you’re a “Madridista” tbh. You’re probably a yank who started following them a few years ago.
The Nagelsmann lost the dressing room stuff is bs, after his sacking key players came out and said that they didnt feel that way and that he will be missed,
He didn't lose the dressing room. He lost is girlfriend😂
That’s actually false, lot of people got along the board at Bayern weren’t keen on nagelsmann’s image tbh
He did lose the dressing room though? Only kimmich was the only one who liked, many players spoke out saying they didn’t like the way he made them play, they didn’t like his tactics etc. it was all over the media, he lost neuer the team captain as well after sacking the previous goalie coach as well. Name me which “key players” spoke out to help him that are permanent members of the squad 😂 not someone like cancelo
@@divingdown6173 musiala and goretzka were both fans.
I honestly feel that Xabi or Raul will be a more suitable fit but Julian is clear tactically.
Xabi alonsos team onoy pass the eye test. No substance to his play still maybe in a season or two, but not now. I think you dont really see much of leverkusen.
Xabi has a long way to go. If he goes to RM, I wouldn't be surprised if things turn out like Stevie G at Villa.
Ruud possibly? just left PSV
Raul? Lol, he's bad.
@@philippzorn539 you are very casually not mentioning the fact that the same team finished 3rd last season. Xabi only came in october of 2022. You are trying to portay like he was given a bad team. Xabis team actually did worse than gerrardo seoane. They do look good and eventually there maybe a good manager there, but nothing sp3cial. Overrated by simpleminded people. A good coach right now.
Nagelsmann and Madrid vs Tuchel and Bayern in the Champions League would be a banger
Still can't get over the fact that Bayern sacked him when they were top of the league, still in the Champions League and DFB-Pokal. Tuchel would have been a better Real fit imo, he got that dominant winning mentality and vibe Real also want to emanate. Now Tuchel got somewhat wasted on that badly put-together Bayern squad.
I really enjoyed this video but I think it's to radical change from Carlo to Julian. Carlo Ancelotti is the ultimate man manger and pragmatic coach. Julian Nagelsman is philosophy and process manager. Who didnt really get a grip on the bayern munich dressing room. For me makes more sense for someone like Pochettino to take real Madrid job who isnt as tactically as strong as Julian but more a man manger like Carlo. Like a happy middle ground between them. Also good at working with young players and could start the rebuild. Funny enough Julian probably a better fit for Chelsea after Tuchel and some of the new signings like Nkunku.
I’d love to see that Nagelsmann 316 system, he did extremely well at Bayern with it , his problem was the fact that Bayern was vulnerable to transitions counter attacks but that won’t be a problem at Madrid With the likes of Fede , Tchouameni , Camavinga and Bellingham who can run for days
I really like when you're in these videos, football Michael Vsauce
Can only focus on those pictureframes.
Jon i love how your videos chronologically flow 🥰🥰
jon, would love to know ur feelings about vanvleet contract and impending siakam contract
*real Madrid manager interview*
HR: your cv?
Julian: here's this video-
Great insight and flow Jon!
You man here is really good at these videos. Him and the Scottish fella.
Please remove the love heart. I'm not single and my boyfriend monitors my internet activity.
@@robovac3557hhhhhhhh you joking right ??
@@alitrust6058 It's all good. He handles the money and helps keep me in check and I handle the cooking. It's called teamwork. Typical relationship stuff.
JDP/Rehearsed patterns of play (Pep/Conte/Arteta) vs Freedom of expression (Mourinho/Carlo/Zidane) is an interesting battle. Do you think Madrid need to move away from the latter approach - they have been amazing in the Champions League in the past decade.
We need more of Spanish league coverage on Tifo
Lovely video as always.
The problem with Madrid versus City was more personnel and lack of defensive game plan
I'd say it was at least 90% lack of a defensive game plan. That and showing no desire whatsoever in the second leg.
@shottskies But if they had more athletic pressing players maybe the game plan would have sufficed.
@@arsenalogist4285 you don't need to press to win football games. Pressing is an option not a requirement. Madrid pressed at times from memory and it's true they're not great at it but primarily against city they would rather sit deep in defense to absorb pressure. It's in these moments where they were very poor in the second leg especially.
@shottskies You always need to press and close down at some stage in defensive phases of play. Whether that's in a low, mid or high block; pressure is a fundamental principle.
I just think the personnel were too old this time, I.e. Benzema, Modric and Kroos. Hell did you see how much space Rodri and Stones had in midfield?
@@arsenalogist4285 Thank you. Finally someone that doesn't just spew out the "Ancelotti is outdated" crap. Ancelotti played Kroos as a CDM, when that gap should have been filled by Tchouameni. As he said when he lost to Barca 4-0, it was his mistake, sometimes coaches fail. Nobody called Pep outdated 10 years ago when Ancelotti beat him 4-0 while coaching Bayern.
Its Don Carlo's fault RM cant defend in Mid and cant break City's defense? No. Get him fresh legs in Mid and front, he will do so much better than Julian
I find it funny that, for you, the teams success is only based on the coach and not the players
Because, in reality, what Guardiola has, and always had, is a good sense of what kind of player his team should look for
This is not just about the formation and whatnot, this is about the type and quality of the players you have with you!
Yes, he is a good manager, but the reason why he's a good manager is because he's good at understanding how a team should be formed, instead of just buying any player that is in form!
He's better than most because he understands the idea of chemistry, not just because of his tactics
Because if you were to ask other teams to do the same he does in City they wouldn't be able to do it properly.
Yes true the thing madrids pholosiphy is too buy any player that looks good but their downfall is they rely on individual more than the team
I think if anything they’ll go for Xabi Alonso. But I really think it’s time to let Carlo go fr
The issue is not carlo, the issue is we don't give coaches time to experiment , if you don't win a title , or uefa, bye bye that's the problem
Zizu and carlo have good ideology but don't get time to perfect and update or renovate them becoz they are coaching with threats from the president and too much expecting, yes madrid is a big team but its time we start giving coarches time
@@takudzwabrendon9895 you’re right I really think Perez should’ve backed Zidane but tbh I don’t like how Carlo wants his football played and I think it’s time for Madrid to get a coach that’ll like to control games and I think it’ll be perfect for the players we’ve got
They saved up the Mbappe millions for years now. Vini was a great transfer. A few others were decent. But overall, they saved up over the last years. And still won a ton of shit and got into the CL semis this year.
@@d4n4nable Luckily they met two very off form teams to reach it. Both Liverpool and Chelsea where not the team they usually are this season. So lucky draws made it to the CL. The huge difference in quality against City showed how far behind they really are.
@@AeonQuasar Lucky draw would've been if they got the path with the italian teams.
My favourite video on this channel so far. This guy has brilliant tactical understanding! Great content!
God I wish we could have seen Nagelsmann and Bayern face City this season instead of Tuchel… Such a shame what Oliver Kahn and Brazzo have done to Bayern… Hope we can rebound next season
I really think julian would’ve pulled it off
Florentino Pérez learned a lot from the first term he served as President. He knows he made a terrible mistake when he fired Del Bosque when he started building his galáctico team. That is why he has implemented a policy that is as certain as death and taxes. There are three big trophies each season: league, cup, champions. If you win at least one of the three, you keep your job; if you don't win at least one, you're fired. He does not look at the board unless he is looking to replace the coach. Call that policy what you will, but it gives managers security in their success.
I still think Anccelotti isn't the best tactician (though he has improved since he works with his son), but he is a great talent manager and a good people person. And you what? Sometimes that is more than enough. He has won league, cup, champions, superleague, supercup, and club world cup in two years. I'd say he has earned to continue as Madrid's manager.
I agree. Ancelotti provides stability and authority in Madrid's dressing room. Sure, his tactics may soon be considered out of date, but he still can bring out the best in his current squad. The fact Modric can still play well (at times) is a testament to Ancelotti's managerial ability. I think he deserves at least one more season before someone like Raul, Xabi or Nagelsmann would takeover.
What is the difference between current Real Madrid playing style and Nagelsmann more ‘localised’ style? Both seem to be doing the same thing (overload certain areas) to generate space to exploit. In which case, how would Nagelsmann be different to Ancelotti?
As a Madrid fan,it's frustrating to sse the players clueless in the field.All they got is one plan and if one player is out of sync them whole plan fails.It's the same reason why Madrid gets hammered 4 nil,5-0 by barca.They got tactical structure and backup plans with role for each player.In Madrid if our plan doesn't work,team looks like 3rd division team.Carlo should leave and Nagelsmann seems to be the perfect man.With modric,benzema and kroos getting old,new batch of players coming in it's perfect time for us.Klopp and Nagelsmann are two coach i think that suits Madrid.
not Flopp please, we dont need the moaner
I'm never gonna call for Carlo to be let go but if he'd call it a day and heads for Brazil, I'm here for it!
Nagelsmann's tatics will overpower Xavis bacerlona and Peps City if Real made the right choice of coach by appionting him
As I understand it what John's saying here is that Nagelsmann represents a Hegelian synthesis between the (thesis) control based play of Guardiola and the (anti-thesis) counterattacking style of Ancelotti.
He leard form both, and combine it with german football, like Klopp
How has no one mentioned the tilted jerseys in the back???
Bayern made a huge mistake letting him go :(
After the turbulent season he had and only signing on for another two years. I half expected Jurgen Klopp to look at Real Madrid. I would expect that if Klopp doesn't retire at the end of 25/26 season he must either go to Bayern or Madrid.
Not sure if Nagelsman does. I actually think Pochettino was the strongest fit for Real Madrid but Chelsea have taken him off the board.
thankfully, as a barca fan real madrid are more likely to keep ancelotti, and by then i hope nagelsmann will be gone. the thing that worries me the most about JG teams are the way they press, and how fit they are.
De Zerbi should also be considered for the position but Nagelsmann has more experience of managing a top club's team.
De Zerbi is very overrated atm, blokes been doing a good job for a year, that’s it. Look at his managerial record before Brighton, it’s not good at all.
@@CheeseyMilkshakes what counts as Mangerial record win rates? Trophies? if we are counting overall performance he did well at Sassuolo
Got them 2 8th placed finish That's like getting a midtable team like Palace 8th place also he got them playing good football
You can argue he's time in Ukraine wasn't impressive won the league with Shakhtar but they win it every year
I would say it's harsh to say he's overrated i think he's in same category as Bielsa where he hasn't won anything and people disregard him
@@bananarecipe He’s overrated in that people are saying he’s gonna be next Real manager etc. dudes managed a mid table prem club for one season
@@CheeseyMilkshakesfacts, people forget that Sean Dyche and Big Sam have gotten mediocre premier league teams to Europe for a season, its a question of whether De Zerbi can keep it up consistently or if it was just one good season.
@@CheeseyMilkshakes Hmmm. Yeah, Brighton was also doing well under Potter but the team has improved even more under De Zerbi.
He could coach Real Madrid, but we’ll need to speak Spanish, that in my opinion is the big factor before all others things tbh
Just saying but that’s an INSANE 5-a-side back there.
Messi, Xavi, Maldini, Modric, and Zidane.
Sheesh!
What's going on with the posters in the background?
I like the idea of going after Nagelsmann, i worry about his much publicised ego however. All the success Real have had jn recent times has come under Don Carlo and Zizou, far more selfless and affable managers; we absolutely don't need another Mourinho-style rebirth cycle, b7lut if he can keep that ego in check Nagelsmann might be a good shout
Difference is peps style requires unreal technical quality in every position apart from haaland who is the best striker in the world anyway. Ancelotti can create a style to win with a team that’s “flawed” hence winning champions leagues with aged squads or unbalanced squads. Peps style is obviously brilliant but there’s a reason he’s not won a champions league since having the best club side we’ve ever seen.
I think that's why Pep is able to dominate leagues while he struggles in UCL, whereas Ancelotti has actually struggled in the league while relying on individual brilliance of his players and the occasion to win cup competitions. Obviously his luck ran out against Man City, and I actually expect more teams to have a go against Madrid if Ancelotti does not alter his tactics.
oh god. the pictures. make it stop.
Jon good explanation! However, slow down verbally! Take some pauses. This will make yourself less anxious and thereby audience will be calm to ingest info as well ❤
Best hoodie you've worn yet
Not Zidane recreating his Headbutt on Modric
What about Spalletti for Real Madrid?
Naglesman ego is too big to last at Madrid. The best Madrid mangers are the ones that can balance egos, including his own.
Jon McKenzie is an exceptional tactician, HOWEVER TIFO, particularly JJ Bull, lauded/loved/adored *Graham Potter* and that went well didn't it? There's a TIFO video essentially celebrating his arrival at Chelsea (a video they wish they'd not made). So what could possibly go wrong with Nagelsmann at Real? I would suggest it would be a fast-moving car-crash.
Why is no one talking about that Pep uses the old WM-formation?
Where do they buy these Framed Kits?
notice modric and Zidane Jerseys are messed up on the wall.. Nice touch
great video, do think there's a good chance Ancelotti ends up leaving, but less so that Nagelsmann comes in unfortunately. He'd be perfect though
anyone else notice the wonky madrid shirts on the wall? nice
touch 😅
i like how the modric and zidane frames are crooked because madrid got battered lol
No ♥️
That is the most Evil Villain picture of Pep I've ever seen. Man looks like he's planning to nuke the Premier League.
big W for the raptors hoodie 🇨🇦
Id like to see JN back at Bayern🥲
Nice hoodie 🇨🇦
is doggy mac okay? he seems so aggravated here!! brilliant analyst. perhaps nailmanballs dont mesh with bielsaballs?
Please fix Modric and Zidane frames
"Good news is.. He's right there 😂" 10:49
I think it will be interesting to see nagelsmann in PSG. They have the power(money) to buy player an he could introduce PSG to one new philosophy where PSG old Philosophy is try to be like Madrid where they have many stars player in which is fail. I think PSG would be great for nagelsmann as a young coach to build his own team with his philosophy rather than trying to be on big club where trophy every year is the must. and i think its good to have a more great team in the champions league in the future rather just few great team.
Exactly
Wow didn't know John was a Raptors fan!
John wearing an nba hoodie after flexing that extensive knowledge on the pod
I thought Jon bought sticky tape for the background frames
And it was put to good use.
Nagelsman might be a perfect tactical fit, but his time at Bayern showed he lacks the authority to manage the board and suits.
What are your thoughts on hansi flick?? Would he work in madrid?
no i doubt. he is very much a system and pressing manager with a highline. He would work more at maybe barca or City or Liverpool
I don't think he'd work at Madrid. In Madrid's case it's a lot about being able to manage the squad, tactics have never been that important, Madrid plays simple, straightforward tactics.
I really cannot see Nagelsmann playing his weird tactics like a 3-1-5-1 that turns into a lopsided back 4-4-2 on defense and so on at Real Madrid, I don't see Carvajal as a false wingback or a 3rd centerback, nor Vinicius tracking back to help on defense.
Nagelsmann can manage an elite squad, just not Madrid, maybe at a more system-type team.
It’s the time for Real Madrid to change the philosophy of the entire club and keeping up with the modern footballing expectations.
Respect for that Toronto Raptors hoodie, bruv.
All those ideas of relying on good structure and PRESSING are good the problem is that they divert from the galactico identity. PERSONALLY I STILL PREFER GALACTIC IDEAS
what is really the deal with the shirts on the wall? today they're skewed the next they're changed
6:54 Nagelsmann bit
Is Zidane headbutting Modric? Has he learnt nothing?
Reminds me of the Lukaku video, it didn’t turnout right did it
Is it just me or where they fighting? cos' in that background the modric and zidane shirts are skew. Or was it an aesthetic choice?
I don't think he can manage egos that well, his Bayern time shown that
Raptors fan? Just because I'm really confused after last episode where you just named random NBA players like Allen EEverson ahah
Pictures!?
Wished it to happen for the longest time after he was sacked by Bayern.. but Ancelotti is staying for another year 😞
Meanwhile Indian, Nepali and Bangladesh experts use terms like CAM,CDM to describe football positions and tactics
Real Madrid won everything through the years, they still asking "if they should be doing something completely different" Madre mía...
Jose tells you when playing one match I don't care control pls respect counter attack tactics no every time need to control
Madrid don't do systems, they always get the best players or currently the best young players in the world for every position and establish a baseline level of quality with in the squad, no manager can come in and tell the board at Madrid to get rid of one of their best players because they don't fit their system, if a manager says that then Madrid will get rid of him. I think that is the right approach, if you have the best players in almost every position and you can't create a winning team because a certain player doesn't fit your system then you need to go and learn how to manage big players from managers like Ancelotti and Mourinho. Most of these modern managers are no different than football manager video games. And i don't think nagelsmann will ever coach Madrid, if you don't understand the culture at Madrid and if you are an outsider and you think your system is everything and unwilling to adapt, then managers will get eaten alive at Madrid. Lopetegui got a taste of that he wanted to be a system manager and once his system fails he didn't know what else to do and he got fired pretty quickly
I agree with you to some extent. The more important quality for a Real Madrid manager would be to manage egos of big-name players and allow their individuality to shine on the pitch. It's important for the manager to gain the players' trusts more than any tactical or systemic changes to the way the team plays. Which is why, more often than not, although Madrid are capable of creating chances when they control games, they generally thrive more on counter attacking or transitional football, because in those scenarios, the forwards are afforded more space and independence to problem-solve.
whoa someone ducked up the modric and zidane fake jerseys in the back
can only dream
Jon, I thought the Slot video was gonna be the next video😔
This was filmed before he said that.
The next video Jon films will be about the Slot machine.
Now that bellingham has arrived, If klopp gets hand on this madrid team, he would give a fair competition to pep
Huh you did so little analysis on Nagelsmann based on two screenshots? One were they were trailing and had to more forwards and strech the play? Lmao and a quote that is really old? Well done, great work
😆😆 you guys intentionally messed with the pictures on the wall to annoy the dude who commented in a previous video on those pictures not being in line
Did you just use a vine boom
Actually Spalletti will be the best coach for madrid
Madrid requires managers like Carlo, José and Zidane who are balanced and grant their attackers freedom. Coaches who push systems like Pep, Nagelsmann and Conte don’t suit Madrid. Watch the way Madrid attack in comparison to City/Arsenal (JDP teams) - Carlo’s style of combinations will suit the Brazilian NT very well.
I wouldn't categorise Mourinho as balanced. He had a very rigid structure to the team, especially in terms of defending, and often made less-pleasant-on-the-eyes teams, but he did allow counter-attacking football to occur. He's very much result oriented more than anything else, so in a way he's always coming up with tactics to counter the opposing team's tactics. Which is why he often loses the dressing room over time, because most players eventually get frustrated with him and how their team plays.
you guys did a video like this about Potter and utterly cursed him 💀
I was very happy that RM got destroyed by Man City, mainly because RM football is actually very boring to watch.
