In September 2023, Julian Nagelsmann took over as German national coach. The commitment, which was originally planned until the 2024 European Championships, was extended to the 2026 World Cup just five months later. Now we are said to be in discussions again about an extension.
According to “Bild”, the German Football Association and national coach Julian Nagelsmann are already in talks about extending the cooperation until the 2028 European Championships.
The desire to tie Nagelsmann for longer is “great” within the DFB ranks, and the coach is at least “not averse” to extending it again.
The reports are not completely surprising: DFB sports director Rudi Völler told “Bild Sport” on “Welt TV” in October: “We will try to convince Julian that it makes sense for him to be national coach for a few more years remain.”
In the recent international matches against Bosnia (7:0) and Hungary (1:1), Nagelsmann once again at least partially promoted his work.
Nagelsmann and the DFB team made a false start
The furious victory against Bosnia has already been described as one of the best German international matches in recent memory.
“Germany, Spain and Portugal are currently the three best, strongest teams in Europe – and therefore in the world. These three teams plus Argentina are my favorites for the World Cup at the moment. It’s just fun to watch the German team again,” said the DFB -Record player Lothar Matthäus after the game.
The trend is at least very positive: after a mixed start with a win (3:1 against the USA), a draw (2:2 against Mexico) and two defeats (2:3 against Turkey and 0:2 against Austria). ) Nagelsmann led the German selection on the road to success and only lost one of the following 15 games: However, they also had a fair amount of bad luck in the 1-2 defeat in the quarter-finals of the European Championship against eventual title holders Spain.
