Following the dismissal of Hansi Flick, Julian Nagelsmann steps in as the new national team coach, tasked with revitalising Germany's performance before they host Euro 2024.

The German Football Association is eager to avoid another disappointing tournament, especially on home turf.

Nagelsmann, the former Bayern Munich manager, has signed a contract until the end of July 2024, providing flexibility after Euro 2024. Expressing his eagerness, Nagelsmann emphasised the special significance of hosting a European Championship.

Hansi Flick, the first coach in Germany's history to be dismissed, faced challenges, with only four wins in 17 matches leading up to his removal. The team's underwhelming performance led to an early exit from the 2022 World Cup.

DFB president Bernd Neuendorf praised Nagelsmann as an exceptional coach, expressing confidence in his ability to inspire fans and achieve success in the Euros.

Flick's termination followed a humiliating 4-1 loss to Japan in a friendly match in Wolfsburg in early September. Nagelsmann, who succeeded Flick at Bayern, has been without a coaching position since his departure from the German champions in March.
