German national team no longer has Hansi Flick as their coach.
Saarbrücken - In an unexpected move, the German Football Association (DFB) announced today the immediate departure of head coach Hansi Flick and his assistants, Marcus Sorg and Danny Röhl. The decision follows a meeting of the DFB GmbH & Co. KG's shareholders and supervisory board, proposed by DFB President Bernd Neuendorf.
Historically faltering performances by the men's A national team have led to the necessity of a fresh start, Neuendorf stated, particularly considering the upcoming European Championship on home soil. He emphasized the significance of cultivating renewed vigor and optimism, given the tournament's proximity. Despite recognizing the challenging nature of the decision, Neuendorf reiterated that the prioritization of sporting achievements makes it essential.
In the interim, a new leadership trio consisting of Rudi Völler, Hannes Wolf, and Sandro Wagner will oversee the upcoming match against vice-world champions France in Dortmund. The hunt for a permanent successor to Flick commenced immediately.
It's worth noting that, while Julian Nagelsmann is presently not associated with the German national side but mentioned in the context of Marc-Andre ter Stegen's potential return, he might emerge as a candidate for the national team coaching position in the future due to his tactical expertise and successful stints in the Bundesliga. Other potential contenders could include Niko Kovač, currently managing Eintracht Frankfurt, and Steffen Baumgart, who has shown promising results with FC Köln. Regardless, the selection process will depend on the timing and circumstances of any future vacancies in the team's coaching staff.
