Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann has extended his contract by two years, taking him beyond the upcoming European Championship and through the 2026 World Cup.
It also ends the possibility of Nagelsmann returning to Bayern Munich, which is looking for a new coach for next season after deciding to part ways with Thomas Tuchel at the end of this season. Nagelsmann was the reported favourite following Xabi Alonso’s decision to stay with Bayer Leverkusen, but now Bayern will need to look elsewhere after two high-profile rejections.

The German football federation announced Friday that its supervisory board and shareholders decided unanimously to keep Nagelsmann in charge of the national team after Euro 2024, which Germany is hosting.
“He’s on the wish list of many big clubs across Europe,” federation president Bernd Neuendorf said of Nagelsmann.
The 36-year-old Nagelsmann has overseen a change in mood in Germany after wins over France and the Netherlands following a shakeup of the team last month.
Bayern fired Nagelsmann in favor of Tuchel in March 2023. Bayern went on to win the Bundesliga.
This season, Bayern failed to win the title for the first time since 2012 after Bayer Leverkusen won last weekend.
Nagelsmann said staying with Germany was “a decision of the heart. It’s a great honour to be able to train the national team and work with the best players in the country.”
