The 57-year-old is supposed to lead the German national team to the home European Championship in 2024 despite the preliminary round at the World Cup in Qatar. The German Football Association announced this on Wednesday after a crisis meeting near Frankfurt/Main. Flick’s contract runs until after the next tournament. National team director Oliver Bierhoff, on the other hand, had previously left sporting management after 18 years with the DFB. Bierhoff’s successor has not yet been regulated by the association.

The next international matches will take place in March 2023 after a long winter break. With a record of eight wins, Flick was more successful than any national coach before him.
