As a coach of the German U21s, Stefan Kuntz was often successful. However, after the Olympics, he looked like he was looking for a new challenge. He could have found it now.
Since 2016 Stefan Kuntz National coach of the German U21 and since then has been able to celebrate all the successes with his teams. In 2017 and 2021 he won the European Championship, in 2019 he was in the final. He was also allowed to work as a trainer at the Olympic Games.
But now he could have found a new challenge. As the “Bild” reports, Kuntz will be the national coach of Turkey. Kuntz told the newspaper: “Yes, there is interest and contact.”
Early on Tuesday evening, Kuntz also confirmed the Turkish association’s interest in a DFB announcement. “” At the invitation of the Turkish Football Association, I was in Istanbul for the first time, but there is still no decision to be announced, “said the two-time European champion maker.
Kuntz did not make a commitment until 2023
Even before the U21 international matches at the beginning of September, he did not rule out saying goodbye: “The time to switch off was only short, a little recharge is still possible.” Despite his current contract until 2023, he said with regard to his future that he would “have a few more talks” in the coming months.
Turkish media are said to go even further and report an agreement. An employee of the “Sports Social Network Vole” posted a plane ticket to on Twitter Istanbul, with the name of Stefan Kuntz. However, it is not clear whether this is real.
Turkey did not get a point at the European Championships recently. National coach Senol Günes was fired last week due to poor performance.
