Nagelsmann: The pressure is bigger at RB Leipzig than at Hoffenheim

Julian Nagelsmann is feeling under bigger pressure at RB Leipzig than at Hoffenheim.
Julian Nagelsmann feels he's under bigger pressure to deliver at RB Leipzig than he was at Hoffenheim.

The 32-year-old, who joined RB Leipzig in the summer after a handful of successful seasons at Hoffenheim, told Sport Bild:

"The pressure is bigger here. The decisive factor for football coaches is the point in time that they take over a team.

"Hoffenheim were almost rock bottom when I arrived. It's easier to improve the situation if you're 17th than if you're in third place like Leipzig were when I took over," Nagelsmann said.

Nagelsmann's troops sit second in the Bundesliga table, having won 21 points after 11 league games.
