Then came the confidence of the German Football Association in 2023. Nagelsmann was to lead Die Mannschaft into a new era of the major titles. Now it’s over, as the Swedes say it.
After Germany’s lead-heavy World Cup exit after losing to Paraguay in the round of 16, it was a still battle-ready Naglesmann who was asked about the rest of his contract run until 2028: “I want to continue. I’m ready if that’s what the federation wants. If they don’t want it, they can speak up.”
