For the first time in 15 years, the national coach will not be called Jogi Löw at an international match. Hansi Flick takes over the office - and initiates a radical change?


For the first time in 15 years, the national coach will not be called Jogi Löw at an international match.

Hansi Flick takes over the office - and initiates a radical change?

Munich - In the end it got emotional, which is normal somewhere after 15 years.

Almost every journalist who asked Joachim Löw a question at the DFB press conference on Wednesday afternoon thanked Joachim Löw for the great and respectful cooperation.

And the soon-to-be-former national coach had to fight back tears at times when he reviewed the past few years.

From August 1st, however, the sentimentality should be over.

Then a new wind blows in the Otto-Fleck-Schneise in Frankfurt.

Because then Hansi Flick * will take over the office of national coach - and probably change one or the other personnel *.

The question of the system is not yet as clear as it initially appears.

One thing is certain: Flick will again bet on a back four.

He mostly let FC Bayern * play in 4-2-3-1, because that was where Thomas Müller * came into play best.

Originally, however, Flick wanted to introduce a 4-3-3, but the FCB stars did not feel so comfortable there.

Will he pull it off at the DFB now?

DFB: Radical upheaval under Hansi Flick?

This is what the new DFB team could look like

As far as the staff is concerned, we will have to wait for the next few weeks.

Players like Toni Kroos, İlkay Gündoğan or Mats Hummels have already considered resigning before the European Football Championship 2021 *.

Players like Manuel Neuer or Müller should still play an important role under Flick and want to continue until the 2022 World Cup.

The question will be exciting with Jérôme Boateng *, who always had a great relationship with Flick at FC Bayern and found himself at the top level again under him.

At 32, however, the central defender is not a future project.

The same applies to Marco Reus, whose DFB career may also be over at the age of 31.

Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, about whom there were recently spectacular transfer rumors *, will be a fixed point.

The DFB starting eleven under Hansi Flick without any major changes:

Neuer - Ginter, Hummels, Boateng, Gosens - Kimmich, Goretzka, Kroos - Müller, Havertz - Werner

At the DFB-PK, Oliver Bierhoff wished that “more U21 players could be built in” again.

But who is really there?

Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen and Ridle Baku in any case.

At Lukas Nmecha, we still have to wait and see how things develop.

But if he goes to RB Leipzig, he should make another jump.

Insider tip: Left-back David Raum (22), who also became European champion in June and is now moving to TSG Hoffenheim in the summer.

Jamal Musiala from FC Bayern already showed at the EM that he has what it takes to play in the DFB team.

Flick will install it more often in the future.

Youssoufa Moukoko is the next big DFB talent slumbering at BVB, but at 16 he is still very, very young and should not yet play a role in the 2022 Desert World Cup.

The DFB starting eleven under Hansi Flick with radical change:

Neuer - Baku, Ginter, Süle, Raum - Kimmich, Goretzka - Wirtz, Havertz, Musiala - Werner

Probably there won't be a very blatant upheaval, especially since Flick became world champion with many stars in 2014 and therefore knows what they are capable of.

But especially with a view to the home EM in 2024 and beyond, Flick should focus on the development of young talent.
