Nagelsmann signs new contract
Nagelsmann had a turbulent start as Germany's manager, facing a team that had only secured four wins in their prior 12 games.
However, recent victories against France and the Netherlands in March have injected optimism as they head into the home Euros this summer.
The former Bayern Munich manager has decided to remain with the German National team by signing a contract extension ahead of the European tournament.
In a heartfelt statement, Nagelsmann expressed his joy and commitment, as reported by Daily Mail, "This is a decision of the heart.
“It is a great honour to be able to train the national team and work with the best players in the country. With successful, passionate performances, we have the chance to inspire an entire country."
Bernd Beuendorf, president of the German football federation, emphasized the significance of securing Nagelsmann amidst European interest, "It is a strong signal for the DFB and the national team that Julian Nagelsmann will remain head coach beyond the home Euros. Because he was on the list of many big clubs across Europe."
Rudi Voller, director of the men's national team, praised Nagelsmann's impact: "He is an outstanding coach, a tactical fox who not only has great football expertise but can also inspire every player with his passion."
