Horst Hrubesch will stop as women’s national coach after the Olympic Games. Then a new coach will take over the team – he should now be appointed.
Christian Wück is to become the new national coach of the German women’s national team after the Olympic Games in Paris. This emerges from a “Bild” report. Accordingly, the German Football Association (DFB) will officially announce the decision on Friday.
Wück led the German U17 team to the World Cup title in Indonesia in December. The 50-year-old has been working as a coach for various youth teams at the DFB since 2012, and his contract as U17 coach expires this summer. Wück has not yet trained a women’s team. Former national player Maren Meinert will work alongside him as assistant coach. The previous assistant Britta Carlson, however, is leaving, according to the report.
Hrubesch, who stepped in after the disappointing 2023 World Cup and the separation from Martina Voss-Tecklenburg, is leading the German selection to the Summer Games in Paris. The 72-year-old will also look after the DFB team in qualifying for the 2025 European Championship in Switzerland, which begins in April.
