Quick takeaways

The appointment of Julian Nagelsmann as the coach of the German national team is seen as a positive development, bringing new ideas and tactics to the team, but the success of his tenure will depend on the team's performance in the upcoming Euros.

There are concerns about the leadership and captaincy of the German national team, with doubts about whether Ilkay Gundogan possesses traditional leadership qualities and the potential confusion when Manuel Neuer returns, and the success of Germany under Nagelsmann relies on his ability to address these concerns and get the best out of the squad.

Deep dives

Nagelsmann takes over as Germany coach with short-term contract

Union Nagelsmann has been appointed as the new coach of the German national team, with a short-term contract that will last until the end of the Euro 2024. This move comes after the departure of Hans-Dieter Flick, and Bayern Munich had to pay a fee for Nagelsmann to join the national team. The appointment of Nagelsmann is seen as a positive development, as he is a proven tactician and can bring new ideas to the team. However, there are questions about whether Germany's current group of players are uncoachable, as they have struggled in recent years. The success of Nagelsmann's tenure will depend on the team's performance in the upcoming Euros, and if they fail to achieve a good result, there may be a need for a long-term review of Germany's youth strategy.
