Julian Nagelsmann will "100 per cent" be in charge of Hoffenheim next season, the club insist, despite speculation linking the highly rated coach with Arsenal.
The 30-year-old's name had reportedly been amongst those in the frame to succeed Arsene Wenger after he was overlooked by Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, who opted for Niko Kovac of Eintracht Frankfurt to replace their own veteran coach, Jupp Heynckes.
Mikel Arteta, Massimiliano Allegri and Nagelsmann were all said to be near the front of the queue for the Emirates Stadium vacancy, but Hoffenheim believe their coach is going nowhere having led the club to a Champions League spot for the second season in a row.
