These are the first games since the embarrassing preliminary round exit at the World Cup. In the Nations League, the German soccer players will play in Denmark on Friday and against Iceland four days later. It’s also about Olympic qualification for Paris 2024.
Meanwhile, the question about the future of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg (55) is simmering in the background. A topic that the DFB remains silent about.
BamS knows the background!
After returning from the World Cup, Voss-Tecklenburg began an analysis with players, the coaching staff and their bosses around leader Joti Chatzialexiou (47). There she learns again what BILD had already reported: the mood in the team was critical of her. The allegations: lack of communication before and during the World Cup, poor tactical attitude with wrong personnel decisions, unprofessional support.

In addition, after returning from Australia, a dispute in the coaching team, which the players had already registered during the World Cup, escalated.
The atmosphere between Voss-Tecklenburg and her assistants Britta Carlson (45) and Michael Urbansky (42) is said to have been cold and distant. After the World Cup it even became loud and accusatory between them. According to reports, several parties even demanded a separation from each other.
According to eyewitnesses, Voss-Tecklenburg appeared broken at this time, was close to tears several times and looked exhausted. A short time later she was put on sick leave – before the WM analysis could be completed and the consequences could be discussed. Her husband Hermann Tecklenburg (75) told BILD that the national coach was “mentally and physically” weak.
In their absence, Carlson and Urbansky continued the personal discussions with the team that Voss-Tecklenburg had actually planned. She clearly denies that Carlson had a vote on her boss’s future. BamS knows that she did ask the players what they thought was good and bad about the World Cup and what they would like for the upcoming international matches.
DFB President Bernd Neuendorf (62) also obtained exactly this information in telephone conversations with players. The team is said not to have explicitly spoken out against the current coaching staff, but sees the work as problematic and would like “a new impulse”.
Carlson appointed the current squad and she will also look after the DFB team in the upcoming games. And then? Completely open! Voss-Tecklenburg only extended her contract until 2025 in the spring, but has been on sick leave for the second time since last week.

The DFB actually wants to wait for Voss-Tecklenburg’s recovery in order to have a final conversation with her and the coaching staff so that she can respond to the criticism and fight for her job. It will be decided at the end of the month whether she still wants that and whether the DFB will have to change coaches sooner given the health problems.
