The German board has had enough of the team's recent poor performances

Hansi Flick has been sacked as Germany’s head-coach following a disastrous run of results, which saw the Mannschaft record only 4 wins in 17 games, including the most recent 4-1 humiliation to Japan in a friendly.

The 2020 Treble winner with Bayern Munich becomes the first German head-coach to receive the sack since the position was created way back in 1926, almost 100 years back.

Rudi Voller, who managed the team between 2000 and 2004 will step in as a temporary solution. He will be assisted by Hannes Wolf and Sandro Wagner.

“The committee agreed that the German national team needs a fresh impetus after the recent disappointing results.” German FA president Bernd Neuendorf said in a statement.

“Going into the European Championship next summer, we need confidence and optimism in the country regarding our team.”

“This has been one of the most difficult decisions I have had to make during my time in this role because I really respect Hansi Flick and his assistants, both on a professional and personal level.”

“Sporting success is of the upmost importance to the DFB, which is why this decision had to be made.”

Germany made a flying start under Flick, recording 8 consecutive wins in his opening 8 games after he was appointed in August 2021.

However, a significant dip in form, which culminated in a shock group-stage exit at the World Cup, has seen them record only 3 wins in the past 12 months.
