This has already been hinted at! Now it’s decided! Hansi Flick was relieved as national coach. The DFB officially announced the decision on Sunday afternoon. Criticism of the former Bayern coach has increased after the 1-4 defeat against Japan. Even before the historic bankruptcy, the ex-Bayern coach used to count.
“Hansi Flick has exhausted himself over the past few months, he and his coaching team have given everything to make the situation better after their World Cup exit in Qatar. Unfortunately today we have to say that we were not successful. In a statement on the DFB’s website, sporting director Rudi Vöhler said: “The game in Japan clearly showed us that we cannot grow further in this area.”
Rudi Völler, Hannes Wolff and Sandro Wagner will look after the national team on a one-time basis for next Tuesday’s international. A successor to the flick should be announced in the near future.
