Hansi Flick will remain as Germany head coach | OneFootball

Hansi Flick will stay on as head coach of the Germany national team, the DFB have announced.

An official statement released confirmed the result of conversations held on Wednesday between Flick, the DFB president Bernd Neuendorf and vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke.

Neundorf stated: “We are all convinced that the 2024 European Championship in our own country represents a great opportunity for football in Germany.

“Our goal is to make this tournament a sporting success. We have full confidence in Hansi Flick that he will master this challenge together with his team.”

Flick had started to come under pressure after Germany were knocked out of a World Cup at the group stage for a second successive tournament following a defeat to Japan, a draw with Spain and despite a win over Costa Rica.

Adding to the statement, the 57-year-old said: “My coaching staff and I are optimistic about the European Championship in our own country.

“As a team, we can achieve a lot more than we showed in Qatar. We missed a great opportunity there. We will learn our lessons from that.”

Flick has been in charge since May 2021.
