The German Football Association has officially terminated Hansi Flick’s contract following a humiliating loss to Japan in a friendly match. Bernd Neuendorf, the head of the German FA, stated that this decision stemmed from the team’s poor recent performance, marking the first time in the association’s history that a German coach’s contract has been terminated. Neuendorf emphasized the need for a fresh start and renewed confidence as they prepare for next year’s Euro tournament.
As of now, Rudi Völler, Hannes Wolf, and Sandro Wagner have been appointed to lead the German national team for the upcoming friendly match against France on September 12, 2023.
