Germany has its next coach in mind for Euro 2024, which it will play at home. According to Sport Bild, Julian Nagelsmann, 36, will be appointed head of the Nationalmannschaft.

The former Bayern Munich coach will succeed Rudi Völler, author of a short interim period (less than two weeks) after the dismissal of Hansi Flick, fired after a nasty friendly defeat against Japan (1-4) . Nagelsmann, without a bench since leaving Bavaria in March 2023, was in advanced discussions with the German federation.

The ex-Munich technician, who also worked for Hoffenheim or Leipzig and was once tipped to be the new coach of PSG this summer, is currently committed to the short term. He has nine months to restore the image of a struggling selection, exited in the group stages during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Indeed, the Euro in Germany will take place from June 14 to July 14, 2024. Before beating the France team in Dortmund, Joshua Kimmich and his team remained in five games without a victory.

Nagelsmann’s first steps on the sidelines will take place across the Atlantic. Germany is scheduled to face the United States on October 14 in East Hartford and then Mexico on October 18 in Philadelphia.
