Julian Nagelsmann personally looks after an 18-year-old at FC Bayern.
Both know each other from an ex-club.
Will the talent be the first big surprise this season?
Munich - Julian Nagelsmann * has accepted an attractive and at the same time probably the greatest possible challenge with the coaching job at FC Bayern *.
The Landsberger should continue to fill the trophy cabinet * of the Munich and also integrate talents in the professional team.
A tightrope act.
In the preparation without numerous stars who are still on vacation until the end of July, Nagelsmann had to fall back on some young talent.
In the first test match against Cologne, the talents were able to prove themselves directly under competitive conditions.
One 18 year old stood out in particular.
That is why Nagelsmann has made the development of the young star a top priority and takes care of it personally.
It's Armindo Sieb - the offensive jewel could be the first big surprise in Nagelsmann's debut season at Bayern.
FC Bayern: Nagelsmann takes on talent - 18-year-old meets directly
After training on Tuesday afternoon, there was a significant scene.
The session was actually over, but Nagelsmann and Sieb stay a little longer on the pitch and duel when targeting a mini-goal.
Both are in a good mood and have a lot of fun.
When holding the ball up afterwards, assistant trainer Dino Toppmöller also participates.
It is hard to imagine that this would have happened under the ex-coaches Hansi Flick or Jupp Heynckes.
Sieb attracted attention in training over the past few weeks.
The offensive talent gets a lot of praise from Nagelsmann for his passes, flanks and goal shots.
The preliminary highlight was the test against Cologne last Saturday.
Sieb swirled over the wing and even scored the first goal at 2: 3.
Even after that, Nagelsmann motivated his new favorite student: “Three or four of the young players did well.
Armindo Sieb was good. "

FC Bayern: Nagelsmann and Sieb know each other from Hoffenheim
Nagelsmann and Sieb have not only known each other for a few weeks. The relationship between the two has a history. Coaches and players have a very similar past. Before Bayern, the two clubs were RB Leipizig and TSG Hoffenheim *. In the case of Sieb, it's the other way around: in 2017 he moved from the Leipzig youth to Hoffenheim. In the following two years the head coach was called Nagelsmann. Sieb was only 16 years old when Nagelsmann moved to Leipzig in 2019, but was already considered a huge talent back then. No wonder Bayern struck a year ago. Since this summer, the two have been reunited in Munich.
Nagelsmann cares a lot about Sieb, wants to challenge and encourage him. And the chances of the youngster are not bad at all. Sieb can fill almost any position on the offensive and is already celebrated in the media as a “mini-gnabry”. A backup role on the wings has been vacant since Douglas Costa left. Jamal Musiala, another 18-year-old, tends to focus on his strengths. Sieb is about to break through as a professional this season, now it's up to him to take the chance himself. Last October he was able to sniff professional air in the first round of the cup against Düren. With the nephew of sports director Hasan Salihamidzic, another teenager is preparing to gain a foothold in the first team.
