Rudi Völler remains DFB sporting director following Germany's World Cup exit

Rudi Völler will continue as the sporting director of the German Football Association (DFB) through the end of his contract in 2028. His decision to stay follows Germany's disappointing performance at the World Cup and comes with the backing of the likely new national team manager, Jürgen Klopp. Despite expectations that he might depart alongside former coach Julian Nagelsmann, Völler’s role appears more secure. The continuity in leadership is aimed at preparing for upcoming competitions, including UEFA Euro 2028 in the United Kingdom.
