The Germans do not tend to part with their national coaches quickly. Strictly speaking, only one was chased away again after a short time: Erich Ribbeck formally resigned after the EM 2000 himself, but he would have been chased away because he was not only eliminated in the preliminary round, the diagnosis was also: “rumble football”. History is largely in agreement that German football has never been worse than it was then.
