'Leipzig will not be the last step for Nagelsmann' - Kampl backs boss for 'great career'

Kevin Kampl has backed his RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann to go on to greater things across his coaching career, stating that the Bundesliga outfit will not be the final destination on his managerial journey.

The former Hoffenheim man, who took the reins at Red Bull Arena in 2019, is widely regarded as one of the game's best young managers, and finished third in last season's UEFA Men's Coach of the Year Award vote.

Though Leipzig's midweek exit to Liverpool has scuppered their chances of a second straight Champions League semi-final appearance, Kampl - who at 30 is only three years younger than his coach - believes that Nagelsmann still has a bright future ahead of him.
