Bastian Schweinsteiger joins the opinion of Philipp Lahm and hopes that Louis van Gaal will be a national coach of Germany. That says the former midfielder of the German national team in conversation with BILD, that the chances of the 72-year-old coach increase. “The voices are getting louder and louder that a foreign coach could take over in the history of the DFB for the first time,” said the German newspaper.
Germany surprised on Tuesday evening, after the resignation of Hansi Flick, to immediately win 2-1 against France. However, interim coach Rudi Völler does not want to finally follow the former Bayern Munich success coach and soon returns to his position as technical director of the DFB. BILD writes about a special development in Germany. “As a new national coach for the European Championship 2024 in its own country, one name is about one name in addition to top favorite Julian Nagelsmann: Louis van Gaal. The voices become louder and louder that a foreign coach could take over in the history of the DFB for the first time, such as the Canadian Gordon Herbert who recently made our basketball players world champion. ”
The German newspaper no longer doubts whether Van Gaal is an option, also because he would be a lot cheaper than top favorite Julian Nagelsmann. Van Gaal is transfer -free and can be done immediately, while the DFB is guilty of Bayern when the Nagelsmann appoints. During his last employment in Munich, Nagelsmann deserved more than double salary that Van Gaal received as the national coach of the Netherlands. In addition, Völler made statements that seem to refer to Van Gaal on Tuesday. “It is important that it is a German -speaking national coach and of course also a ‘CEO’. A really good coach has to do it. Everyone who is mentioned and has not yet thanked are all top trainers. “
Schweinsteiger
Where Lahm previously expressed his preference for the ‘order and structure’ of Van Gaal, his former teammate Schweinsteiger follows that opinion. “For Die Mannschaft, Louis van Gaal would be the best choice to become a national coach in the short term.” Lahm and Schweinsteiger know from Gaal of their joint period at Bayern. Won with the Amsterdammer at the helm der Rekordmeister Once the national title, once the DFB Pokal and once the German Supercup.
