Is there a wave of resignations in the national team after the EM?
In addition to national coach Jogi Löw (61), who will be inherited by Hansi Flick (56), players could also stop at the DFB.
According to BILD information, at least Toni Kroos (31) and Ilkay Gündogan (30) are thinking about ending the tournament.
► Kroos made his debut for Germany in March 2010 and has since played over 100 international matches. He had already considered resigning after the World Cup in 2018. With the debacle caused by the preliminary round in Russia, the Real star did not want to say goodbye to the national team. And this time?
► Gündogan has been with us since October 2011. Against Hungary he was facing his 49th international match (2-2). Again and again injuries threw him back, so that he missed the tournaments in 2014 and 2016. It is possible that the high level of exposure at Man City puzzles him.
As SPORT BILD reported, he had already expressed thoughts of resignation among the national team at a table of England legionaries. Gündogan has not yet made a decision.
Open, how things will continue with Thomas Müller (31).
Does he still have the motivation to tackle the 2022 World Cup? Soon national coach Flick will first talk to him.
On the other hand, it is clear that Joshua Kimmich (26) no longer has to turn right. The Bayen Star will return to the center. The triple chain in defense that Löw swears by is also being scrutinized by Flick. The coach prefers the back four.
And what about Mats Hummels (32)?
The DFB returnee is ready to talk about continuing his national team career. Whether Flick wants to bet on the BVB professional is open.
Another world champion will not return even under Flick: Jérôme Boateng (32).
The defender, who was a fixture at Bayern under Flick, also has no future with the new national coach.
Flick made his first business trip to Switzerland at the beginning of September. In the Kybunpark in St. Gallen, the new national coach starts the race to catch up against Liechtenstein in the World Cup qualifiers. As a legacy, Löw left him third behind Armenia and North Macedonia.
Flick, who saw the game against Hungary on TV, already has his coaching staff in his head: Löw’s assistant Marcus Sorg (55) should stay. Flick had proposed him as an assistant coach himself after he retired in 2014. Danny Röhl (32), who recently terminated his contract with the record champions, is said to come from Bayern. The also traded Hermann Gerland (67), on the other hand, is more of an issue for the DFB Youth Academy.
