Jan Siewert: The View From Germany

Author Ryan Baldi is joined by Jan Siewert, the former Borussia Dortmund II and Huddersfield Town manager who is now the academy manager of Bundesliga club Mainz. Jan discusses his experience working with Jadon Sancho, Bayern Munich's decision to disband their U9 and U10 teams, how English academies are perceived in Germany and his own youth-development philosophy.
