The current coach of the German national team, Julian Nagelsmann, has signed a contract renewal with the German Football Association, until after the World Cup in 2026. Nagelsmann was placed at the head of the German bench last year, after the departure of Hansi Flick. His first contract was expected to expire after this year's European Championship, but it seems that the leaders of the federation are already confident that Nagelsmann is the right man to lead the representative team to success.
The coach himself expressed his gratitude for the opportunity he was given. Nagelsmann commented on the renewal thus:
"This is a decision from my heart. To lead the national team is a great honor."
The German national team can be said to be going through a difficult time, as in the last two major competitions, it could not go beyond the 1/16 stage. We remind you that the Germans could not pass the group stage in the last two World Cups. The qualifiers for the 2026 world cup have not started yet. The competition will be hosted by the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. Meanwhile, in this year's European, Germany will face Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland.
Before the news of the renewal was announced, Julian Nagelsmann was rumored for a possible return to Bayern Munich. Meanwhile, the name of the German technician was also rumored to take over the management of Manchester United.
On the other hand, the news about Nagelsmann's renewal was also commented on by the director of the German Football Federation, Bernd Neuendorf. The latter told the media:
"The fact that Julian Nagelsmann will be the coach of the national team even after the European championship is a strong signal for the national team and the federation. This is because he is on the wish list of many big clubs all over Europe. Now we are moving confidently and everyone can focus on a successful performance in Europe."
