The German basketball team’s final victory over Serbia at the World Cup is celebrated on social media, but the joy is clouded, depending on your opinion. At 4:25 p.m., when the final was in its exciting final phase, the German Football Association (DFB) announced: Hansi Flick, coach of the German national soccer team, must leave after April 1 against Japan, and immediately.
On Tuesday (9 p.m. in the FAZ live ticker for DFB international matches and on ARD), DFB directors Rudi Völler and Hannes Wolf as well as DFB coach Sandro Wagner are supposed to look after the team in the game against France before the association tries to promptly to regulate succession. The timing of these events was unfortunate – attention quickly fell back to the football world.
Especially on the platform Or possibly a coincidence that arose out of ignorance. Regardless of the background of the parallelism, the case is causing criticism.
Other users don’t see this quite so closely and shoot for Flick’s achievements as a national coach.

But last but not least: The joy of Germany’s historic victory wins. German sports history was written on Sunday, noted Cem Özdemir, Federal Minister for Food and Agriculture, among others. Basketball legend Dirk Nowitzki, special advisor to the Dallas Mavericks, also enthusiastically congratulates and does not leave the great performance of the German basketball players in Flick’s shadow.
