According to consistent media reports, Julian Nagelsmann, who was fired by FC Bayern in March, has been chosen as Hansi Flick’s successor as the new coach of the German national soccer team. Would the 36-year-old be the right choice? Your opinion is needed!
Julian Nagelsmann will be in charge of the DFB selection until the upcoming home European Championships, “kicker” and “Bild” report. An official announcement from the DFB is still pending, but it will supposedly be made soon. Only the final details remain to be clarified, they say.
The former coach of FC Bayern is said to be the absolute preferred candidate of the DFB leadership. However, his commitment as national coach is initially limited in time. It therefore remains unclear whether Nagelsmann will continue to be the national coach after the European Championships.
According to reports, Julian Nagelsmann would give up a lot of money. Despite his release, he still has a contract with FC Bayern until 2026. He would be entitled to a salary of around 20 million euros by the end of the term. At the DFB he is said to earn “only” 400,000 euros per month.
The German record champions are also apparently foregoing financial compensation. Nagelsmann’s contract is to be terminated, so no transfer fee is due.

In the past few months, Julian Nagelsmann has been traded to several top European clubs. But possible engagements in the English Premier League with Chelsea or Tottenham as well as with Ligue 1 heavyweight Paris Saint-Germain ultimately failed to materialize.
Now Julian Nagelsmann should continue as national coach. After the 4-1 defeat against Japan, the DFB recently parted ways with Hansi Flick – the coach that Nagelsmann had already replaced at FC Bayern in the summer of 2021.
