"It all went surprisingly quickly for me with the signature, but I am very happy to be able to work as national coach from autumn onwards. The season has just ended and the two years at Bayern Munich are helping The team spirit and the attitude of the players were outstanding, and I'll take a lot with me that will continue to shape my work. I'm really looking forward to it because I can see the great quality of the players, especially the young players in Germany. That's how we have it every reason to approach the upcoming tournaments with optimism, for example the European Championship at home in 2024," told Flick to German Football Association after being roped in for the role on Tuesday.
"In addition, I know from best experience that I am with Oliver Bierhoff, I have a strong, trustworthy partner by my side and who work in the team behind the team, so that the team, we trainers and staff can get started without a long start-up time. I am also looking forward to contributing my ideas and ideas beyond the national team to the academy and the other national teams. The important thing now is not what will happen in September - I will contact you in detail in August - but the upcoming European Championship, for which I wish Jogi Löw, Marcus Sorg, Andy Köpke and the team the greatest possible success. Jogi Löw has more than deserved a great end to his career as national coach," he concluded.
