Germany has dismissed head coach Julian Nagelsmann and his coaching staff following their exit in the Round of 32 against Paraguay in the FIFA World Cup on June 29, 2026. The DFB will pay approximately €6.6 million in severance as a result of this decision. The move reflects the federation's costly commitment to Nagelsmann after a contract extension in January 2025. Following this early tournament exit, the DFB faces challenges in finding a new head coach while managing financial repercussions. Jürgen Klopp is reportedly a leading candidate for the role.
