Julian Nagelsmann's decision to resign came after the team's defeat to Paraguay at the 2026 World Cup and internal rifts involving the players' wives and girlfriends.
Julian Nagelsmann has resigned as head coach of the German national team.
The 38-year-old manager left his post with a £6 million compensation package after the German Football Association (DFB) issued an ultimatum demanding his resignation. Currently, former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is being closely linked to take over and revive the team after a period of crisis.
This decision is the result of a three-hour emergency meeting at DFB headquarters in Frankfurt last Thursday. There, Nagelsmann was harshly questioned about his poor tactical decisions and allowing a "family atmosphere" to infiltrate the team too deeply.
