Now the magazine has apologized by calling the Bavarian-born Nagelsmann "the hype-bringer".

Last season Hoffenheim finished fourth, this time around Nagelsmann has proved he can deliver consistent success by placing third behind Bayern Munich and FC Schalke 04. Facing him now is his second international exam, and on the highest possible level. Should he be successful, then the big wide football world will be waiting.

Nagelsmann is the most innovative coach in German football and one of the most promising developers of young players. Before the season that has just finished, he had to replace key performers like Niklas Suele, Sebastian Rudy and Sandro Wagner (all Bayern Munich).

Serge Gnabry, Nadiem Amiri, Nico Schulz, Mark Uth and Andrej Kramaric filled the gaps. Hoffenheim's new heroes reached a new quality level with the support of their coach. Gnabry will return to Bayern Munich and Uth will join Schalke 04.

Now Nagelsmann has to find new key performers helping to lift team and club to an even higher level. The millions Hoffenheim will earn in the Champions League will help envisage names the club could only dream of so far.

Hoffenheim will not be in the running for Neymar Junior or Cristiano Ronaldo but can woo strikers such as Karl Toko Ekambi (SCO Angers). The 25-year-old Cameroon forward has scored 17 goals in the first French league and is said to be valued at 25 million euro.

The talented midfielder Max Meyer (Schalke 04) is said to be on Nagelsmann's list as well.
