Nagelsmann creates turmoil with Neuer's return, Nübel's sidelining ahead of Euros

Internal conflict has surfaced within the German national team following Julian Nagelsmann's controversial decision to reinstate Manuel Neuer as the starting goalkeeper ahead of the World Cup. Sources allege that Nagelsmann acted without consultation, leading to significant tension and the near resignation of goalkeeping coach Andreas Kronenberg. Manuel Neuer's comeback reportedly involved demands to sidelined Alexander Nübel, creating further rifts. Following a successful season on loan at VfB Stuttgart, Nübel was unexpectedly dropped from the final squad ahead of the European Championship. The DFB has denied Neuer's influence over Nübel's exclusion, while Nübel has since transferred to Besiktas.
