The German Football Association has done nails with heads before the upcoming European Championship: As expected, the coach will take over Hansi Flick the German national team after the continental tournament. The 56-year-old will sign a contract until summer 2024, as the DFB officially announced on Tuesday. Flick was available after declaring his intention to leave Bayern after the season ended last weekend.
“It all went surprisingly quickly for me with the signature, but I am very happy to be able to work as a national coach from autumn on,” says Flick, delighted to be able to take up the national coaching position. “I’m really looking forward to it because I can see the quality of the players, especially the young players in Germany. So we have every reason to approach the upcoming tournaments, for example the home European championship 2024, with optimism. “
After the upcoming European Championship, the former Bayern coach will replace Joachim Löw, who already announced his resignation as national coach in March and asked for the termination of his contract, which ran until 2022. Under the direction of the Black Forest, the German national team became world champions in 2014 and won the Confederations Cup in 2017.
