Following a disappointing World Cup, the DFB is looking to revamp itself in an attempt to get Germany back on track before they host the upcoming Euros in 2024. First, Oliver Bierhoff, managing director of the national team, resigned after three consecutive underwhelming tournaments. His departure was met with positive reception from the fans, who felt that Bierhoff had long run his course in the past four years.

However, Bierhoff’s resignation could put another change in motion, one which could prove either good or bad. According to reports from Bild and kicker, national team coach Hansi Flick is reconsidering his future. Apparently Bierhoff was Flick’s closest confidant in the national team, and the two had a very good working relationship. Now that Bierhoff is gone, Flick’s future as Germany coach remains open, and there is a very tangible possibility that he too will resign. Flick expressed his regret in Bierhoff’s departure in a statement earlier today.

-------------------------------------------
In encouraging news coming out of Germany this morning, Hansi Flick will remain as head trainer of the DFB following the departure of Oliver Bierhoff earlier this week.

According to Sport1’s Kerry Hau, Hansi Flick is expected to remain despite Germany’s exit at the 2022 FIFA Men’s World Cup. He will lead the DFB into Euro 2024, which is being hosted in Germany:

Hansi Flick remains national coach! “We as a team can achieve a lot more than we showed in Qatar. We missed a big opportunity there. We will learn our lessons from this,” explains Flick.

While many were clamoring for a complete overhaul of DFB’s leadership structure, firing Hansi Flick after one questionable tournament would have meant extraordinary upheaval — and with questions surrounding Thomas Tuchel and the availability of Jürgen Klopp, there weren’t clear alternatives, either.

Flick reportedly has the full support of the DFB leadership. From the report:

As reported: Flick is excited about the home European Championship 2024, he wants to show it to all critics. DFB President Bernd Neuendorf: “We have full confidence in Hansi Flick that he will master this challenge together with his team.”

Hau’s report has further been echoed by Fabrizio Romano and Deutsche Welle. So Hansi remains, and his focus is on Euro 2024. All in all, encouraging and positive news. Onto Euro 2024.
