I'm jealous of Germany, because there's only one national team coach that 'everyone' wants
German soccer is in crisis.
Germany has the world's strongest soccer team. It has won four World Cups, making it the second-most World Cup trophy country in history.
Of course, there is no doubt that it is one of the most powerful countries in the world, but German soccer has not always been strong. There have been cycles. In the 1950s, 1970s, 1990s, and even 2010s. Glory and crisis repeated, as did all national teams. Perhaps this is the biggest crisis in German soccer history.
Germany suffered a sharp fall after Joachim Löw, who led the heyday of German soccer in the 2010s, stepped down. Germany, the absolute strongest country in the FIFA rankings, was shocked to be eliminated from the group stage at the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Löw asked. And in 2021, coach Hansi Flick took the helm. The fall speed got even faster.
Germany was also eliminated from the group stage at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Germany received a shocking record of being eliminated from the group stage for two consecutive tournaments for the first time in the history of the World Cup. Flick survived because of the upcoming Euro 2024. It is a tournament at home. We are running out of time, so we have decided to trust him.
However, he did not last long. He was defeated 1-4 in a friendly match with Japan. Flick was sacked. It was the first time in German soccer history that a coach was sacked. In shock, the German team will join the 2024 Euro with Julian Nagelsmann's inauguration. It remains to be seen how much he will be able to revive the German soccer team in crisis.
Coach Nagelsmann. Of course he is a great coach. He is a proven coach in Europe. But he is not the coach Germany really wanted. He is a coach who has different likes and dislikes. He cannot shake the feeling that he is not the best but the next best. After being shockingly dismissed by Bayern Munich, he was nominated for several clubs and eventually took over as coach for Germany. He was definitely not the coach everyone in Germany wanted.
In fact, when Loeb stepped down, Germany was looking at a coach. When he was eliminated from the group stage at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, there were many calls for Flick to be replaced and appointed. The same name was mentioned when Flick was dismissed. There have been constant calls for taking charge of Euro 2024. In Germany, everyone wants only one coach, Jurgen Klopp.
He is from Germany and one of Germany's top generals. He started his career as a coach at Mainz, terrorized the powerful Bayern Munich at Dortmund, and led his golden years at Liverpool. Liverpool gave Koreans the English Premier League (EPL) trophy, and the UEFA Champions League (UCL) trophy was a bonus. Without a doubt, he is one of the greatest masters of the world.
The German team has constantly wanted Klopp. Klopp's leadership, German media, experts, and fans all wanted him to revive the team in crisis. However, the wish did not come true. It was because of Klopp's loyalty and loyalty to Liverpool.
Klopp said this every time he had a relationship with the German national team.
