Germany considers firing Nagelsmann

Coach Julian Nagelsmann is under great pressure after the German team's disappointing performances, and there is even a risk that this strategist will be fired.

Julian Nagelsmann is under great pressure as the German team continues to disappoint.

According to Kicker , the German Football Association (DFB) is ready to fire coach Nagelsmann if the German team continues to play poorly. The 0-2 defeat to Slovakia in the opening match of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers has put the German team in crisis, and rumors about the risk of Nagelsmann losing his job are spreading more and more.

In January, coach Nagelsmann was unexpectedly given a contract extension by the DFB, to continue leading the German team until the end of Euro 2028. However, many members of the German Football Federation are regretting this decision.

According to the original plan, Nagelsmann was only appointed with a short-term contract to replace Hansi Flick in September 2023, to take charge of the team at Euro 2024 on home soil. The next matches of the German team will play a decisive role in Nagelsmann's future.

The defeat in Slovakia was Germany's first away defeat in World Cup qualifying history. Germany also set a sad record with three consecutive defeats in official tournaments - something that has never happened before. In June, Julian Nagelsmann's team lost 1-2 to Portugal in the semi-finals and then lost 0-2 to France in the UEFA Nations League third-place match.
