Red Bull Executive Labels Julian Nagelsmann as 'Best Coach' and Regrets Letting Him Leave

Oliver Mintzlaff calls Nagelsmann's departure from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich in 2021 one of his greatest professional mistakes.

Oliver Mintzlaff, global head of sports at Red Bull, expressed deep regret over Julian Nagelsmann's 2021 transfer from RB Leipzig to Bayern Munich.
Mintzlaff described Nagelsmann as the best coach he has ever worked with, praising his exceptional talent and leadership.
Nagelsmann transformed RB Leipzig into a top-performing team during his two-year tenure before moving to Bayern for a substantial transfer fee.
Despite the financial gain, Mintzlaff admitted the decision disrupted RB Leipzig's trajectory and remains a significant disappointment.
Since September 2023, Nagelsmann has been leading the German national football team as head coach.
