His appointment was met with optimism, and the new contract ensures that Germany’s footballing future is in capable hands, with Nagelsmann at the forefront of a long-term strategic project aimed at returning the country to the pinnacle of international football.
Nagelsmann’s reappointment is a clear reflection of the DFB’s belief in his abilities and his vision for the German national team. Since his arrival, the team has shown signs of progression, implementing a modern, high-pressing style of play while focusing on developing young talent within the squad.
