Germany’s national football coach, Julian Nagelsmann, has signed a contract extension, ensuring his role will continue until after the 2028 European Championship tournament.
This announcement was made public by the German Football Association (DFB) on Friday, marking a significant milestone in Julian Nagelsmann’s coaching career.
Nagelsmann, who assumed the coaching position in September 2023, has already made a notable impact, successfully guiding the German team to the quarterfinals of the Euro 2024 tournament, which took place on home soil.
His leadership has been characterized by a strong tactical approach and an emphasis on team cohesion, both of which have resonated well with players and fans alike.
Originally, his contract was set to run until the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup, which will be hosted jointly by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. However, the extension reflects the DFB’s confidence in Nagelsmann’s abilities and vision for the team’s future.
Nagelsmann, 36, became the second youngest coach in German national team history upon his appointment, following his impressive stint at Bayern Munich. His youthful energy and innovative strategies have injected fresh enthusiasm into the squad, making him a popular figure both in the locker room and among supporters.
In a heartfelt statement regarding his contract extension, Nagelsmann expressed his gratitude for the opportunity he has been given.
He said, “When I came to the DFB in September 2023, I could not have imagined being a national coach beyond the home Euro. This great feedback that we all receive every day shows us that our journey together is on the right path. We want to win titles together.”
