Horst Hrubesch will initially remain the interim national coach of the German footballers. The 72-year-old will also look after the DFB selection at the Nations League final tournament in February. “The plan is for me to still be there,” said Hrubesch after the 0-0 draw against Wales in Swansea. The vice-European champions thus managed to win the group and can continue to hope for participation in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.

Hrubesch stepped in for former national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg at the beginning of October. She called in sick after the World Cup debacle in Australia in the summer. The DFB has now terminated the contract with Voss-Tecklenburg.
Future open in case of participation in the Olympics
After Voss-Tecklenburg’s assistant Britta Carlson had previously taken over the DFB women, Hrubesch agreed to play the remaining four group games in the Nations League. So far he has only hinted that he will still be responsible for the final tournament. It remains to be seen whether he will continue to be the national coach if he takes part in the Olympics.
In Wales, Hrubesch and the team came to a draw after three wins. In the final tournament with four teams in February, which will be drawn on Monday, two European teams can still win the Olympic ticket. France is set as hosts.
