What happened?

The Germany national football team, also known as the DFB-Team, is facing a reorientation. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly set to resign. The 38-year-old is said to have made the decision after a crisis meeting with the German Football Association in Frankfurt on Thursday.

Why is this important for the Germany team?

Nagelsmann was in charge of the Germany team when they were eliminated from the World Cup in the round of 16, losing to Paraguay in a penalty shootout on Monday. Initially, he had ruled out resigning. However, after the meeting in Frankfurt, the DFB leadership apparently advised him to reconsider.

What comes next?

The future of sport director Rudi Völler and managing director Andreas Rettig is still uncertain. Jürgen Klopp has been mentioned as a potential successor for several days. The former successful coach and current Red Bull strategist is the top candidate.
