On Friday, it was announced that the German soccer federation had unanimously decided to keep coach Julian Nagelsmann in charge of the national team for the upcoming European Championship in 2024. This decision comes as Germany prepares to host the tournament and is set to bring positive change to the squad following their recent overhaul.
Nagelsmann, who is only 36 years old, has been a key player in Germany’s recent successes, including wins over France and the Netherlands. He was previously fired by Bayern Munich in March 2023, but this extension of his contract ensures that he will continue to lead Germany through major tournaments in the coming years.
Bayern’s decision to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of this season paved the way for Nagelsmann’s return as a front-runner for their new coach. However, after two high-profile rejections from Bayern, Nagelsmann will now have to look elsewhere for his next coaching opportunity.
Despite this setback, Nagelsmann expressed his gratitude for being able to continue as the coach of Germany. He feels honored to train some of the best players in the country and lead them through major tournaments such as Euro 2024 and beyond.
