German National Team Coach Hansi Flick Dismissed

The German Football Association has announced the dismissal of coach Hansi Flick, making him the first national team coach to be sacked since the association’s founding in 1926. Flick, who took charge of the German national team in July 2021, had a disappointing record of 12 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses in 25 matches, failing to establish a strong team and ultimately leading to their relegation.
The turning point came with a shocking 1-4 defeat to Japan in an international match held at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg on the 10th. The loss was met with disbelief by German fans, and it was heavily criticized in the media, with even Kicker calling it a “disaster.” Consequently, Flick’s dismissal was announced within a day.
Prior to his tenure with the national team, Flick had enjoyed a successful coaching career, most notably leading Bayern Munich to a European treble in 2019. However, his performance with the German national team failed to meet expectations, with disappointing exits in both the 2018 World Cup and the recent Qatar 2022 World Cup, where they were eliminated in the group stage.
With the Euro 2024 to be held in Germany next year, the country is now faced with the task of finding a suitable replacement for Flick. Several candidates, including Jurgen Klinsmann, the coach of the Korean national team, have been discussed. German media outlet Bild has recommended Klinsmann as well as 10 other potential candidates for the position, including Jurgen Klopp, Louis van Gaal, Miroslav Klose, Matthias Sammer, and Zinedine Zidane.
As Germany looks to rebuild and regain its status as a football powerhouse, the appointment of a new head coach will be crucial in shaping the team’s future.

The German Football Association announced the dismissal of coach Flick on the 11th (Korea time). With this, Coach Flick became the first national team coach to be sacked since the founding of the German Football Association in 1926. Coach Flick took charge of the German national team in July 2021. However, in 25 matches, they had 12 win, 7 draws, and 6 losses, showing no signs of being a strong team, and eventually suffered the ignominy of being relegated.
The results were good, but the shock defeat to Japan was the decisive blow. Germany suffered a 1-4 shock against Japan in an international match held at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg the day before (10th). It was a poor game with a score of 11 to 14 in each shot.
Local German fans watching the shock loss looked on in disbelief, and Kicker slammed coach Flick, calling it a “disaster.” In the end, the dismissal was announced within a day.
Indeed, Director Flick was one of the most popular directors in Europe. Coach Flick, who started his coaching career in 1996, was appointed head coach of the German national team in 2006, and coach Joachim Löw helped the German national team win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. In 2019, he took charge of Bayern Munich, the most prestigious club in the German Bundesliga. Since his first season in office, he has won the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and European Champions League, achieving a European treble that is said to be difficult to achieve once in a lifetime. This was the second treble in the club’s history.

They were eliminated in the group stage at the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The general view was that Spain and Germany would progress to the round of 16 by being tied with Costa Rica, Spain and Japan, but the result shocking out. Above all, they bowed their heads after losing 1-2 to Japan in the last game of the group stage.
Germany were also eliminated in the group stage at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Germany fans were even more disappointed as they failed to progress to the round of 16 in two consecutive competitions.

Considering major competitions like Euro 2024 to be held in Germany next year, I couldn’t help but worry. In the end, Germany pulled the final card of sacking coach Flick.

In addition, head coaches with extensive experience of leading big clubs such as Jurgen Klopp and Louis van Gaal, and German legends such as Miroslav Klose and Matthias Sammer were also named. Among foreign leaders, French maestro Zinedine Zidane stands out.
