Hansi Flick Removed as Germany’s National Team Coach After Latest Embarrassment: Julian Nagelsmann to Take Over

Although he insisted after the latest embarrassment with Japan (4:1) that he was the “right man” for the chair of the national team coach, Hansi Flick was removed from the position after this morning’s training. Nationalelf will be led by veteran coach Rudi Völler for Tuesday’s friendly with France, followed by Julian Nagelsmann, the media favorite for the vacant post…

Along with Flick, his assistants Marcus Sorg and Danny Rohl will also take charge of the national team. Sandro Wagner and Hannes Wolf will be on hand for Völler on Tuesday. Flick leaves his side after one of the most embarrassing home defeats in modern Nationalelf history, with his side conceding a humiliating 11 goals in their last five fixtures.

The 58-year-old Flick took charge of the German national team in September 2021 with the business card of former successful assistant Joachim Löw and a quality head coach who led Bayern Munich to a unique “sextuple” – a collection of six national and international trophies in one year.

He also got off to a decent start on the Germany bench, becoming only the third manager in Nationalelf history to go unbeaten in his first 10 games. However, even within the League of Nations, where in the course of 2022 Germany matured only once against Italy, something began to break. At the World Championship, the Germans were immediately surprised by Japan and did not recover from the embarrassment. From the last 16 matches, Flick celebrated four wins.

Although Flick announced a planned change in playing style in March and went to the September meeting with new captain Ilkay Gündogan even without a number of neglected supports, he will no longer be allowed to continue this revolution. Julian Nagelsmann, who has been out of work since March this year, could coach the home European Championship in nine months.
