Benjamin Hübner set to replace Sandro Wagner as Julian Nagelsmann’s assistant

Sky Germany reports that former Hoffenheim defender Benjamin Hübner is set to replace Sandro Wagner as Julian Nagelsmann’s assistant coach for the German national team.

Current assistant coach Sandro Wagner will leave his role as Nagelsmann’s assistant coach after the Nations League next month. It is expected that he will take charge of a Bundesliga side in the summer.

Hübner is currently Nageslmann’s preferred candidate to replace Wagner, and talks between Hoffenheim and the DFB are already underway. The former defender is currently the assistant manager to Christian Ilzer at Hoffenheim, who narrowly avoided dropping into the relegation playoff on the final day of the season.

Former Nagelsmann assistant Alfred Schreuder was also linked with the role. It is possible that Schreuder could also be appointed as Nagelsmann’s assistant down the line as a more experienced option, alongside Hübner.

Hübner played 69 games under Nagelsmann when the latter was head coach of Hoffenheim.
