Berlin (dpa) - Record national player Lothar Matthäus sees Ralf Rangnick as "a big favorite" for the successor to national coach Joachim Loew.
«Ralf Rangnick is free.
You don't have to hope that the results in Liverpool will continue to be bad and that Jürgen Klopp will be criticized, ”said the 59-year-old on Tuesday TV broadcaster Sky.
He himself does not concern himself with the question of inheriting Löw after the European Football Championship in the summer, affirmed Matthäus.
The German Football Association had previously announced that Löw would prematurely terminate his contract after the European Championship at his own request.
"This is a great move by Jogi Löw and the DFB," said Matthäus.
The decision that has now been announced is taking the air out of the long-simmering debate about the future of the 61-year-old national coach.
«It takes the pressure off the team.
There is no better time, ”said Matthew.
Now there is no longer any talk of a new beginning or a further whereabouts of Löw, but only of the European Championship.

For the office of national coach he sees "a lot of people who like to do this position".
Liverpool coach Klopp is going through a deep crisis with his team, but still has a contract with the English champions until mid-2024.
Bayern coach Hansi Flick, who has been traded again and again, is also tied to Munich for a longer period of time.
In contrast, Rangnick is currently looking for a new employer.
