Julian Nagelsmann has been given nine months to revive flailing Germany ahead of hosting Euro 2024 after being named as the sacked Hansi Flick's successor as national team coach on Friday.
Germany sacked Flick with the national team struggling, the German football association fearing another embarrassing performance in a major tournament, this time as hosts at next year's European championships.
"We have a European Championship in our own country - that's something special," Nagelsmann said in a statement.Flick, who became the first coach in Germany history to be sacked, had won just four of 17 matches leading up to his dismissal and took the team to a disappointing group-stage exit at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
DFB sporting director Rudi Voeller called Nagelsmann "an absolute football expert" and said he had "proven himself at a very young age for a head coach".Nagelsmann was seen as a rising star after impressive spells at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig.
