In March, it became clear that national team captain Joachim Löw will leave the German national team after 15 years.
The German Football Association went out as early as April and confirmed that it intended to begin negotiations with Bayern Munich coach Hansi Flick to take over as the national team captain after Joachim Löw.
After that, Flick announced that he wanted to be released from the coaching job at Bayern Munich and now it is definitely clear.
Flick takes over as national team captain after Germany.
- It has gone surprisingly fast but I am very happy to be Germany's national team captain from this autumn, says Flick.
The 56-year-old has signed for three years. His first task will be to lead Germany in the World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein on September 2.
