It’s good that we have clarity early on and can now concentrate fully on the upcoming tournament." Stephan Osnabrügge: "Oliver Bierhoff conducted the discussions discretely and purposefully on behalf of the executive committee, who were kept informed about the current status at all times. Rainer Koch, 1st vice president for amateur football: "We thank FC Bayern and their management, who have been very cooperative in and supportive in paving the path for Hansi Flick to take up the position of national team head coach." Since his highly successful time here, he has continued to develop extraordinarily as both a person and a coach, as shown by his fantastic success with FC Bayern." Appreciation shown to Bayernĭr. Peter Peters, 1st vice president: "It’s wonderful that Hansi Flick is returning to the DFB as head coach. As the association's sporting figurehead, Hansi will not only be involved in the sporting management of the senior national side, but also in many other projects and initiatives of our directorates, which include all national teams, coaching education and the DFB Academy." We have one major common goal, which is to return to the top of the world rankings. It was important for me that we have that clarity ahead of the EUROs. We quickly agreed on working together and the upcoming tasks. During his time at Bayern München, he proved that he's capable of leading a team as a head coach. I know and value Hansi Flick, both as a person and as a coach, due to our many successful years together with the national team. He was top of my wish list right from the start. Oliver Bierhoff, DFB director of national teams and the academy, was in charge of leading the discussions with Flick, and said: "I'm very proud that we have managed to sign Hansi Flick as head coach of the national team. Jogi Löw more than deserves a great finish to his wonderful career as national coach.” What matters right now is the upcoming tournament and I would like to wish Jogi Löw, Marcus Sorg, Andy Köpke and the team the best of luck. At the moment, though, what happens in September is not important – I will have a detailed report in August ready. I’m also looking forward to implementing some of my ideas for the national team and the academy. From experience, I know that Oliver Bierhoff will be a strong, trustworthy partner and that the staff behind the scenes will help to ensure that we won’t need too long to get going. We’ve got every reason to be optimistic about future tournaments, including the home EUROs in 2024. I’m really excited because of the class of players we have in Germany, especially the youngsters.
The team spirit and attitude of the players were excellent and I will take plenty with me that will help my work in my new role. The season has just finished and the last two years at FC Bayern have left their mark on me. Hansi Flick commented: “Everything happened very quickly, especially signing the contract, but I’m really happy to be the Germany head coach from autumn. He then took a job as sporting director at TSG Hoffenheim prior to taking over as head coach at FC Bayern, where he won seven trophies in two years, including the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, the DFB-Pokal and two Bundesliga titles.
After that success, Flick became DFB sporting director, before leaving that post voluntarily in 2017. Flick was Löw’s assistant from 2006 to 2014 and they won the 2014 World Cup in Brazil together. Löw had already agreed to end his contract – which ran until 2022 – after the tournament. Hansi Flick’s contract will begin on 1st July 2021 and he will take over from Joachim Löw once this summer’s EUROs have finished. Stephan Osnabrügge signed on behalf of the DFB. The 56-year-old signed a contract running until 2024 today at the DFB headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, which also includes EURO 2024 to be held in Germany.
Hansi Flick will take over as the new head coach of the Germany national side.
