Hansi Flick

, former Bayern Munich coach, will lead the German team after the European Championship, in which the current coach,

Joachim Low

, will

be dismissed from his position

, as confirmed by the German Football Federation (DFB), with which he has signed a contract until 2024.

The appointment had been sung for weeks, when Flick, 56, announced that he would not continue at Bayern.

For his part, Löw had already announced in March that he was leaving the

Mannschaft

after 15 years in office, where he won, among other trophies, the 2014 World Cup.

"I am very impatient because I see the class of the players, especially the young ones. We have reasons to approach the next tournaments, especially the European Championship at home in 2024, with optimism," said Flick, a former member of the Löw coaching staff between 2006 and 2014.

"Back to the top of the world"

"I know and appreciate Hansi's human and professional qualities from the many successful years we spent together in the national team. It was important for me to have clear ideas before the start of the Euro. We have a common goal: to get back to the top of the tournament. world, "explained

Oliver Bierhoff

, director of the DFB.

Flick landed in 2019 on the Bayern bench, where he lifted seven titles, including two Bundesligas and a Champions League (2020).

Faced with sports director

Hasan Salihamidzic

over his transfer policy, he had asked to break his contract, which lasted until 2023, at the end of this season. Bayern have already announced that his replacement will be Julian Nagelsmann, from Leipzig.

Over the past few months, the DFB had acknowledged "conversations" with Flick, who also sounded like a hypothetical replacement for

Ronald Koeman

at Barcelona.

The prestige of his triumphant career in the Bavarian giant was founded on his relationship with the footballers, who valued his ability to listen and empathy.

Calm and perfectionist

From now on, he will once again have some of Bayern's idols, such as

Manuel Neuer

,

Serge Gnabry

,

Leroy Sané

,

Joshua Kimmich

,

Leon Goretzka

,

Niklas Süle

and

Thomas Müller

, re-caught for the European Championship after being fired from the national team by Löw due to a renewal process after the 2018 World Cup debacle.

The 2022 World Cup will be the first big challenge for Flick, whose career took off in November 2019, when he was promoted, after the dismissal of

Niko Kovac

, as interim manager at Bayern, then fourth in the Bundesliga.

A few months later he was able to round up a historic 'sextete' (League-Cup-Champions-German Super Cups and Europe-Club World Cup).

Calm but perfectionist, 'Super Flick' seems like the best option to recover a convalescent team since Russia 2018.
