Hansi Flick is SACKED as Germany head coach after 'embarrassing' 4-1 hammering by Japan and winning just four of his 17 games in charge - with Euro 2024 just nine months away
Flick has been sacked as Germany head coach after talks with director Voller
This comes after his side fell to a shocking 4-1 defeat to Japan on Saturday
Hansi Flick has been sacked as head coach of Germany following a meeting with shareholders, just nine months before Euro 2024.
The former Bayern Munich manager had a hugely unsuccessful stint in charge of the national team, with a 4-1 loss to Japan appearing to be the final straw.
In a statement released by the national side, it was confirmed that following a 'shareholders meeting', Flick was dismissed.
President of the German Football Association, Bernd Neuendorf said: 'The committees agreed that the Men's Senior National Teamneeds new impetus after the recent disappointing results. We need a spirit of optimism and confidence in our own country.
'For me personally, it is one of the most difficult decisions of my time in office so far. Because I appreciate Hansi Flick and his assistant coaches as football experts and people. But sporting success is the top priority for the DFB. So the decision was inevitable.'
