Chances are that Hansi Flick will be the new national coach die Mannschaft is becoming. The German Football Association (DFB) will soon enter into talks with the current coach of Bayern Munich, a spokesperson confirms to the news agency SID. Flick is in the picture as the successor to Joachim Löw, who will retire as national coach next summer after the European championship.

“It is well known that Hansi Flick is highly regarded by the DFB,” said a spokesman for the union. “We can confirm that we will be in talks with him and the people in charge at Bayern shortly.” Because Flick is having his contract with Bayern terminated this summer until mid-2023, the DFB will not have to pay any compensation for him. The union previously announced that it does not intend to pay a lump sum payment for the new national coach.

Flick is certainly no stranger to the DFB, because the coach worked as Löw’s assistant between 2006 and 2014. After that, Flick worked for two years as the technical director of the German federation, before fulfilling the same position a season later at TSG Hoffenheim. The coach then went to work as an assistant coach at Bayern Munich and took over from the dismissed head coach Kovac eighteen months ago. Flick has already won six awards with Bayern and will soon add this season’s national championship.

At the beginning of March, Löw announced that he would stop as German national coach after fifteen years. “I have thought about this decision for a long time,” said Löw. “I am extremely proud and grateful and very motivated in the run-up to the upcoming European Championship. I am proud because it is a very special job and a great honor to serve my country. of the land. “
