Two issues continue to paralyze the nation, the vaccination chaos and the Joachim Löw successor question.
The federal government is putting us off sometime after Easter, around the middle of April everyone should, if they are lucky, ask their doctor or pharmacist - and the German Football Association even believes that there will be time until summer if necessary.
Oliver Bierhoff, the DFB manager, is definitely the beer rest in person.
He rejects any kind of unmanageable action and emphasizes again and again: “We will continue to follow the market and see what happens.” Someone relied on thoroughness and patience, basically even on the Bible: “Search, you will find;
knock and it will be opened to you ”- Matthew 7, verse 7.

Matthäus, in this case Lothar, is well in the running in terms of audience approval.
In a current “Sport 1” survey (“Who should actually become national coach?”), Our record national player, as of Sunday, is 33 percent ahead of Ralf Rangnick - but who will probably soon jump out of the candidate carousel voluntarily and orientate himself elsewhere because Bierhoff apparently does not want to kill him, although the Leipziger is the best, but in any case the only one who is currently available.
"We also have good solutions within the DFB"
It won't work with Matthias Sammer either.
"No interest," said the old master these days.
However, he emphasized that this is not a bad thing, because the DFB can draw on unlimited resources when searching, and mentions Klopp, Tuchel, Nagelsmann and Flick.
That sounded amazing, because none of them are actually available, but Sammer did not owe the solution: If it is not the time, he asks that an association, in the interests of a top-notch solution, also brings it up, “regardless of contract constellations for one Coach to pay transfer fee ”.
If you include this invitation to break taboos in the debate, Bierhoff now has three options: 1.) He picks up money and buys one of the guns from the contract, 2.) He dares to take the uncomfortable nod or he leans 3.) to Stefan Kuntz or Marcus Sorg, in other words to a search strategy that he recently spiced up with the sentence: "We also have good internal solutions within the DFB."

Spontaneously at this point, all the historians nodded, smirked and bet a lot of money that it would turn out exactly that way - and they tell the story of the groundhog who greets them forever.
It all started with Sepp Herberger, the first national coach.
He favored the inventor Dettmar Cramer as his successor.

The DFB, however, adhered to the rule of inheritance, promoted Herberger's assistant coach Helmut Schön, and Cramer was allowed to bring the boss's warm milk to the bed if his stomach rebelled before risky games.
Cramer left, was later celebrated at Bayern as a "little Napoleon", and Franz Beckenbauer said: "He should have been national coach, nothing else."
The succession at the DFB
After Schön came, in the course of the succession, his assistant Jupp Derwall ("I am the Jupp, cheers!").
When the happy thing ended badly, the DFB left the further search to the guys from "Bild".
Back then, in June 1984, after the abrupt end of the European Championship in Paris, they racked their brains until one of them said: “Why not Franz?” He wasn't a coach at all, just a “Bild” columnist, but in his fatherland Interest was decided: The columnist is released and the office of national coach is renamed team boss.
There was only one problem left.
"Who," asked one, "is telling Franz?"

He was nowhere to be found.
Time was of the essence, the headline "Franz: I am ready" was as good as in print, but then a reporter for the paper found the person he was looking for, in the Hotel Henri IV in St. Germain-en-Laye, and confronted him the immutable.
"Beckenbauer," reported a major news magazine, "resisted for a long time."

The DFB then looked for the Kaiser again. Berti Vogts, the loyal terrier, followed as an internal solution.
When he resigned, his former co-world champion Paul Breitner demanded loudly on television "that the old braids are cut off now", whereupon DFB President Egidius Braun called Krauskopf immediately and asked him for a verdict on several successor candidates.
"Mr. Breitner, I have to take the whole thing back"
“After the fourth,” Breitner later revealed, “I said: Stop rubbish, the names make me sick.
After a quarter of an hour Braun asked me: Would you like to become team boss? "Breitner said yes, probably whispering things in his wife Hannelore's ear the following night, such as" are you aware that you are in bed with the new national coach? ", Yes The next day Braun called him again and regretted: “Mr. Breitner, I have to take the whole thing back.
If you say you are doing tabula rasa, then I have to expect that you will shave me too. "

Instead, the DFB found the much easier-to-care-for former Derwall assistant Erich Ribbeck, who was playing golf on Tenerife as "Sir Erich" in preparation for retirement - when he was presented, his assistant coach Uli Stielike stood next to him in that unforgettable jacket with checked Pattern on which the two probably played chess from then on.
After that?
Rudi Völler.
He was actually more of a folk hero ("Ruuuudi!"), At least not exactly what many understand by a national coach. But he had the considerable advantage over Christoph Daum, whom the DFB was looking for and found next, that he was in his In a forensic medical analysis, hair would only have revealed traces of the gold throat that the Dutchman Rijkaard used to gel his curls at the World Cup in 1990. The next, qualified through a short DFB course, was followed by Jürgen Klinsmann, and as the DFB for the Desperately looking for an assistant coach, Franz Beckenbauer said comfortingly from the sidelines: "Someone will do it." That was Löw, and the rest is known.

Is Marcus Sorg inheriting now?
One does not know.
Everyone pokes in the fog with their poles.
The DFB manager was recently asked: "Can it also be a woman?" Oliver Bierhoff pondered briefly and replied: "I would never rule anything out."
The ways of the Lord are inscrutable.
