National team - DFB boss: No debates about Nagelsmann until the European Championships
DFB President Bernd Neuendorf does not want to discuss the future of national coach Julian Nagelsmann before the European Football Championship in Germany.
Only after the home European Championships will it be discussed whether and how Nagelsmann, who was only appointed in September, will continue. Neuendorf emphasized this in the latest episode of the podcast "Spielmacher - der EM-Talk mit Sebastian Hellmann und 360Media", which will be published on Thursday.
The commitment is initially planned until the summer, until then the focus will be completely on the European Championship. "We'll stick with it. We're not going to start any kind of debate now," emphasized Neuendorf. "We won't let ourselves be distracted from the line either, because that's all disruptive noise that we don't need right now. He must have our full backing for the next six months. No sideshows," added the 62-year-old DFB boss.
Neuendorf speaks of rollercoaster ride
Under Nagelsmann's direction, the DFB team started the 36-year-old's tenure on a trip to the USA with a 3-1 win over the hosts and a 2-2 draw against Mexico. More recently, the 3-2 defeat to Turkey and the 2-0 loss in Austria were bitter setbacks and the former Leipzig and Bayern coach was criticized for his tactical experiments.
Neuendorf spoke of a rollercoaster ride with regard to the public reactions. The amplitudes would swing extremely upwards and downwards. After two not-so-good games, it's immediately dark again. He sometimes wishes there was more moderation and balance.
The positive aspects should be highlighted and what needs to be strengthened instead of always talking or writing oneself into the ground. The next test matches are against France and the Netherlands in March, with Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland the opponents in the preliminary round of the European Championship in June.
