Germany suffered an embarrassing 4-1 defeat at home to Japan on Saturday night which has now led to the sacking of head coach Hansi Flick.
Flick only managed Germany for over 2 years but his sides performance in the World Cup and recent friendlies had led them to part ways with the former-Bayern Munich manager.

Germany are hosting the Euros 2024 which kicks-off in just nine months and the GFA (Germany Football Association) are actively looking for a successor.
German Football Association president Bernd Neuendorf said: “The men’s senior national team needs new impetus after the recent disappointing results. We need a spirit of optimism and confidence in our own country.
“For me personally, it is one of the most difficult decisions of my time in office so far because I appreciate Hansi Flick and his assistant coaches as football experts and people. But sporting success is the top priority for the DFB. So the decision was inevitable.” The aim is to arrange Hansi Flick’s successor as quickly as possible”.
Germany couldn’t get past the group stage in the World Cup which saw them face Japan, Spain and Costa Rica. Oman and Peru are the only other nations they’ve beaten in the past 12 months. Flick won just 12 of his 25 matches in charge since replacing Joachim Low in August 2021.
