Julian Nagelsmann has been appointed head coach by the DFB. Nagelsmann previously managed Bayern Munich but was sacked in 2022 and has been out of work since.
Hamsi Flick was sacked as Germany head coach earlier in the month after a poor World Cup campaign and recent results in friendlies. They couldn’t get out of the World Cup group stage. They were tied to the likes of Costa Rica, Japan and Spain.
Nagelsmann is a capable manager and has had succesful spells with Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich. Nagelsmann is understood to have signed a contract until July 2024 which means he will be in charge of Germany for the 2024 Euros which they are hosting. Nagelsmann won’t have long to get to know his squad with only three international breaks left before the tournament gets underway.
“We have a European Championship in our own country. That’s something special – something that happens every few decades,” said Nagelsmann. “I have a great desire to take on this challenge. We will be a close-knit group next year.”
“Julian Nagelsmann was our preferred candidate as national coach when the search began,” said German Football Association sporting director Rudi Voller.
“He is not only an absolute football expert, but has already proven in all his positions – at a very young age for a head coach – that he can motivate and inspire a team and the entire environment.
“His fire for football is noticeable and contagious.”
Nagelsmann’s first couple of matches in charge will be friendlies against United States and Mexico which will take place next month.
