Nagelsmann, who took charge of the team in September 2023, initially envisioned his role as temporary, focusing on the 2024 European Championship. However, he expressed a deepened connection to the national team and its passionate supporters.

Under his leadership, Germany aims for success at the upcoming European Championship, hosted in Great Britain and Ireland. Nagelsmann, 37, previously managed Hoffenheim, RB Leipzig, and Bayern Munich, where he secured a Bundesliga title and two German Super Cup victories.

Nagelsmann succeeded Hansi Flick, who was dismissed in 2023.
