Magath: “DFB just kept their fingers crossed and watched” | Free press

Berlin (dpa) – Former European champion Felix Magath sees a weakness in action at the DFB as the reason for the early EM-out of the national team.

“The whole DFB just kept their fingers crossed and watched,” said the 67-year-old in the newspaper “Die Welt”. After failing as the defending champion in the 2018 World Cup preliminary round, the German Football Association should have split from national coach Joachim Löw, according to Magath. “That would have been the right thing for everyone, including Joachim Löw,” said the former international.

Instead, the top of the DFB had rested too long on the 2014 World Cup title. «Since 2014 almost nothing positive has happened to the national team. Since then it has been going steadily and steadily downwards, “said Magath. In the past few years there has been no positive development in the DFB selection. “Because those responsible for the DFB live in the past, nothing has and could not develop further,” explained Magath.

Hope connects the former professional of Hamburger SV with Löw’s successor in office, Hansi Flick, who recently led FC Bayern to a series of titles with some enthusiastic football. “I’m sure that Hansi Flick will bring new momentum to the shop,” said Magath.
