Exactly one year ago, Julian Nagelsmann experienced his first game as head coach of the German national team. Today, DFB President Bernd Neuendorf praised Nagelsmann’s work, stating that he has been doing an excellent job and has the trust of the players. Neuendorf, along with DFB Sports Director Rudi Völler, expressed their intention to extend Nagelsmann’s contract which is set to expire after the 2026 World Cup.
Nagelsmann, who took over from Hansi Flick a year ago, has had a successful year with the national team. Under his leadership, the team has achieved nine wins, four draws, and three losses in 16 matches, with a total of 33 goals scored and 17 conceded. Despite falling short in the Euro Championship quarterfinals, Nagelsmann expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance and progress.
The extension of Nagelsmann’s contract until after the 2026 World Cup has provided stability to the DFB, according to Neuendorf. Völler’s statement about wanting to extend Nagelsmann’s contract was well received by the head coach, who expressed his contentment with his current position. Nagelsmann emphasized that his focus is on the upcoming Nations League, followed by the World Cup qualification matches, and then the World Cup itself.
Looking ahead, Nagelsmann remains ambitious and focused on achieving success with the national team. With the support of the DFB and the trust of the players, he is determined to lead the team to further victories and ultimately, aim for World Cup glory in the near future. The future looks bright for Nagelsmann and the German national team under his guidance.
