The German, nicknamed 'Baby Mourinho', says the Tottenham boss proved an inspiration during his formative years as a coach
RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann says Jose Mourinho played a key role in shaping his management style as he prepares to face the Tottenham boss in the Champions League.
Nagelsmann takes his Leipzig side to north London for a last-16 first-leg tie on Wednesday evening.
He is often compared to the Portuguese and was even given the nickname “Mini-Mourinho” during his time as Hoffenheim assistant coach, with many seeing similarities in their rapid rise to managerial prominence from a young age.
