Germany, who will welcome the UEFA Nations Cup as hosts next year, went down 1-4 to Japan in a warm-up match on Sunday (10th), the same day they made an unprecedented decision - sacking coach Felix, making him the first manager to be fired in the history of German soccer. With only nine months to go before the UEFA European Nations Cup, the DFB quickly began looking for a new manager, and Picture Post was the first to expose a list of ten candidates that included well-known coaches such as Nachoswine, Schiedam, and Younger.
Fei Liq two years ago by virtue of Bayern Munich's "Triple Crown" as the head coach of Germany, but he introduced a new tactical reform does not seem to work, last year's World Cup in Qatar, Germany in the group stage of the exit, this year the team's form continues to slump, the last five warm-up matches, one win and four losses, in the loss of Japan, the German soccer federation decided to take decisive measures, and Felix became the first manager to be sacked since the creation of the leader's post in 1926.
According to Picture Post, the DFB has identified ten candidates for the new managerial position, including Nacho Sven, Schiedam, Yinger, Gopp, Chilenschwinn, Matus, Semma, Golus, Woolla and Grassner, with Nacho Sven seen as the favorite. The 36-year-old coach was sacked by Bayern Munich in March this year, but his contract with Bayern has not yet been terminated, which means that the DFB will still need to negotiate a "transfer" with Bayern.
As for the other candidates, French soccer legend Stein has waited for two years and still hasn't come out, so Germany will face some difficulties in convincing him to take over, while Dutch star manager Yinkel has said that he is considering taking over: "Normally I wouldn't coach a club again, but if there's a country that's very attractive to me, I might consider it." The 72-year-old Yinger, who coached Bayern Munich for two years, is no stranger to German soccer.
As for Liverpool's manager Gopp, he is said to be the German Football Association's "dream candidate", but he has already shown his loyalty to Liverpool and will not become the coach of the German national team in the short term. Germany will face France in a warm-up match on Wednesday (13th), when German national team director Woolla will temporarily take over the position of team leader, and Sindhu Warner will serve as assistant coach.
