The debacle of the DFB-Elf in Seville had barely ended when the discussion about the national coach flared up.

Is Joachim Löw still wearable and if not, who should follow him?

A name that keeps coming up: Hans-Dieter-Flick.

A year ago that would have been unthinkable.

But the FC Bayern coach turned the record champions into the best team in the world within a few months.

In an interview, the 55-year-old talks about his unusual career path, his family and the national coaching debate.

WELT AM SONNTAG:

Mr. Flick, you can't be just the "nice Hansi", a Bayern coach has to make too many tough decisions for that. Do you have natural authority? Or did you first have to get tougher at Bayern?
