DFB’s attitude that has changed 180 degrees?
The German Football Association (DFB) seems to be satisfied with coach Julian Nagelsmann’s system.
“DFB wants to keep Nagelsmann as the national team coach after the Euro and is preparing a new contract proposal.”
Nagelsmann is currently in charge of the German national team. Nagelsmann took the helm of the German national team in September last year, succeeding Hanji Flick. The contract period is Euro 2024. The German national team was in a bad mood at the time, losing 1-4 to Japan, but Nagelsmann quickly reorganized his team and secured a 3-1 victory on his debut in an away game against the U.S. team, changing the mood.
However, conditions are not favorable these days. During the A-match period in November last year, Nagelsmann accepted the disastrous result. It suffered a shock defeat of 2-3 in the match against Turkiye, and a crushing defeat of 0-2 in the match against Austria. In the two matches at the time, Nagelsmann’s German team was lagging behind not only in tactics but also in every aspect including shooting and effective shooting. Nagelsmann was also criticized for selecting players.
The DFB originally planned to separate from Nagelsmann after the Euro tournament. It had planned to appoint Jurgen Klopp, who would resign from Liverpool. However, Klopp’s plan fell through when he announced that he would take a sabbatical of one year after resigning from Liverpool. Then, the DFB changed its stance. The DFB plans to maintain Nagelsmann’s system, which is currently drawing attention from many big clubs.
Nagelsmann, who did well for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, took over as Bayern Munich manager in 2021 at the age of just 34. He rose to the top of the German DFL-Super Cup after his first season in Munich and to the top of the Bundesliga in the 2021-22 season, lifting the trophy. Nagelsmann also started as Munich manager last season.
However, Munich under Nagelsmann collapsed in the 2022-23 season. It won the DFL-Super Cup, but lost to Leverkusen 1-2 in the 25th round before falling to second place. In the end, Munich replaced Nagelsmann and appointed Thomas Tuchel. Munich turned the tables on the 34th round of the league since Tuchel took charge.
After being kicked out of Munich, Nagelsmann took the helm of the German national team and is currently drawing keen attention from many clubs. For now, Liverpool coach Klopp and FC Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez will step down after the end of this season. Nagelsmann is one of the candidates to replace Liverpool coach. He is also a finalist for Barcelona coach Xavi. Borussia Dortmund are also keeping an eye on Nagelsmann.
There is a possibility that the German team will return to Munich. The German team will play a friendly match with the French team at Grupama Stadium, Olympique Lyonnais’ home stadium, at 5 a.m. on Saturday. Prior to the match, Nagelsmann told an official press conference, “Return to Munich? Not ruling anything out is part of football.” He meant that he could return to the team that was sacked.
Then, the DFB is moving fast. It is preparing an offer to renew the contract to retain Nagelsmann. Nagelsmann is also in a positive mood. “Initial discussions have taken place, and Nagelsmann has been open about the proposal. The DFB wants Nagelsmann to agree on a specific goal for the Euro tournament, and if that goal is reached, the new contract will become effective,” he added. 토토사이트 순위
