Julian Nagelsmann and the DFB
After Germany’s World Cup exit to Paraguay
Julian Nagelsmann is reportedly close to leaving as Germany manager after DFB leaders advised him to resign. The recommendation followed a post-World Cup summit reviewing Germany’s shock round-of-32 penalty defeat by Paraguay in North America.
Nagelsmann attended a long meeting with senior DFB officials and was asked to explain Germany’s tournament failure. Reports say a formal dismissal is expected if he refuses to step down, with Jurgen Klopp linked as successor.
