The German federation has formalized the signing of Julian Nagelsmann, who will lead the Mannschaft during Euro 2024.
It’s official. Expected for several days, the signing of Julian Nagelsmann has been confirmed by the German federation. The former Bayern coach signed a contract until 2024, a short-term lease because the upcoming deadline is crucial.
“We have a European Championship in our own country, confides Nagelsmann in the DFB press release. It’s something special, something that only happens every few decades. I am very keen to take on this challenge. We will be a tight-knit group next year. »
As at Bayern, Nagelsmann succeeds Hansi Flick, who was weakened by elimination in the group stage during the 2022 World Cup, and who lost his place after the slap received in a friendly against Japan (1-4). It was Rudi Völler who took over as interim for the match against the France team (2-1) immediately.
Nagelsmann had been free since his dismissal at Bayern last spring. His name had been circulating at PSG this summer. At 36, he became the youngest coach in the history of the Mannschaft.
