The Austrian does not possess the CV to be a leader from the start, even less so because he is considered a temporary replacement for Eriksen. Nagelsmann decided to employ Sabitzer primarily as a number six after the winter break in 2020, and one of his favourite pupils immediately performed on a high level in the role of a forward-driving centre midfielder, helping Leipzig to the Champions League semi-final in the same year.

Initially, he intended to stay until the end of the season, but he opportunistically grabbed the chance to make a move to England. However, he was never able to claim a spot in the starting XI when all his direct competitors for the number six role were available.
