BERLIN: Hansi Flick has been sacked as head coach of Germany following his side’s 1-4 defeat to Japan, the German football association (DFB) announced.
“The committees agreed that the senior men’s national team needs new impetus after recent disap-pointing results. In the light of Euro 2024 in our own country, we need a spirit of optimism and confi-dence. The team’s success is the top priority for the DFB so the decision was inevitable,” German FA president Bernd Neuendorf was quoted as saying by Xinhua. For now, sporting director Rudi Voller will take interim charge of the team alongside Hannes Wolf and Sandro Wagner.
After the 2014 FIFA World Cup winners crashed out in the group stage at the 2022 tournament in Qa-tar, Flick tried to turn things around, but five winless games in 2023 have forced the Euro 2024 tourna-ment hosts to take action. (IANS)
