Who is Julian Nagelsmann, the new Germany head coach?
Nagelsmann has been appointed to lead his country at next year’s Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
The German FA (DFB) made Julian Nagelsmann their number-one candidate after Jürgen Klopp confirmed he would stay at Liverpool and the 36-year-old has been appointed to lead his country at next year’s Euro 2024 tournament in Germany.
On being appointed last month, Nagelsmann said: “We have a European Championship in our own country, this is something special – something that happens every few decades. The performance in Dortmund was the beginning.”
Nagelsmann, who is one of Europe’s top coaches despite his age, has replaced Hansi Flick in the dugout, after he was fired as Germany head coach due to some poor displays and results. He had previously replaced Flick at Germany’s biggest club, Bayern Munich, although his spell there ended abruptly when Bayern fired the young tactician to appoint Thomas Tuchel.
Nagelsmann recently announced his first squad as Germany’s new head coach ahead of the current international break.
One inclusion that few expected was that of experienced centre-back Mats Hummels who has been called up for the first time since Euro 2020 when Germany were eliminated in the quarter-finals against England.
