Bayern Munich, Liverpool suffer blow as Julian Nagelsmann signs new long-term Germany contract
The 36-year-old replaced Hansi Flick in September 2023, six months after being sacked by Bayern.
Nagelsmann initially signed a short-term deal as Germany boss that was due to expire after this summer's European Championships.
Die Mannachaft have won three games out of six since Nagelsmann took charge, including their last two friendlies against France and the Netherlands, but there were suggestions that he could make a swift return to club management amid reported interest from both Bayern and Liverpool.
However, the German football association (DFB) have now confirmed that Nagelsmann has committed his future to the national team by penning a contract extension until the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup.
Nagelsmann's new deal comes just over a week after Rudi Voller extended his contract to remain as director of the Germany men's national team until 2026.
Nagelsmann commits future to Germany«I made this decision with my heart. It's a great honour to be able to coach the national team and work with the best players in the country,» Nagelsmann told the DFB's official website after signing his extension.
«With successful, passionate performances, we have the chance to inspire an entire nation. We got a taste of that in the two wins against France and the Netherlands in March, where the enthusiasm of the fans really touched me.
»We want to have a successful European Championship together on home turf, and we're all itching to get going. After that, I'm looking forward to taking on the challenge of a World Cup alongside my coaching team."
