On the 10th (Korean time), coach Hansi Flick of the German national team was suddenly dismissed after suffering a crushing 1-4 loss to Japan.
The German Football Association announced the dismissal of coach Flick on the 11th (Korean time). Coach Flick earned the disgrace of being the first national team coach to be dismissed since the German Football Association was founded in 1926.
Coach Flick, who took over as Germany’s head coach in July 2021, was on a roll, recording 9 wins and 4 draws in the first 13 games of his tenure. However, at the 2022 Qatar World Cup, they recorded 1 win, 1 draw, and 1 loss, and were eliminated in the group stage for two consecutive tournaments following the last tournament. In particular, the shock of the 1-2 defeat against Japan, who were considered weak, was significant.
At the time, there were a lot of calls for coach Flick to be sacked in Germany, but the German Football Association gave coach Flick confidence and allowed him to begin preparations for the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship (Euro), which will be held in Germany in 2024. However, Germany’s disappointing performance continued.
Germany had only 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 losses in 6 international matches this year, and also suffered the humiliation of losing 1-4 against Japan at home on the 10th. In the end, Coach Flick became the first national team coach to be dismissed in German soccer history. Under Coach Flick, Germany recorded 12 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses in 25 games, with a winning rate of 48%.
Coach Flick, who was appointed as the head coach of the German national team in 2006, assisted coach Joachim Löw until 2014 and helped Germany win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Afterwards, he took charge of Bayern Munich (Germany) in 2019 and swept the German Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and UEFA Champions League in his first season, achieving the second treble (triple crown) in the club’s history. That year, he was also selected as the best coach by UEFA.
Coach Flick’s successors include Korean national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann, former Bayern Munich coach Julian Nagelsmann, Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner, and former Reindorf Altach coach Miroslav Klose. The German Football Association said, “We will appoint the next head coach as quickly as possible.”
