The future of Nagelsmann as the head coach of the German team is still shaky

Although Sporting Director Rudi Völler has extended the contract, head coach Julian Nagelsmann remains reticent about his future with the German national team.

In a media meeting in Düsseldorf on Monday, where the head coaches of the 24 teams participating in EURO gathered, Nagelsmann expressed satisfaction with the news of Völler’s contract extension. However, he still remained vague about his own future.

“I’m very happy for DFB and German football. Everything else will be clarified in the coming weeks,” Nagelsmann shared. He believes everyone has the right to express their desires and views and the two sides have discussed this issue.

Nagelsmann emphasized that the decision to extend the contract was Völler’s own, not because he requested it. He believes that everyone must be responsible for their own lives.

For his part, Nagelsmann asserted that he has been clear about the contract and has nothing new to report. His contract will expire after EURO and both Völler and DFB Executive Director Andreas Rettig support his stay. However, Bayern Munich is also said to be interested in bringing Nagelsmann back to replace Thomas Tuchel, who will leave the club this summer.

Still, Nagelsmann remains cautious and has not made a final decision. He focuses on the task at hand and does not let speculation about the future distract him. Only time will tell whether Nagelsmann will continue to lead “The Tank” or not.
