The news ticker is updated here.
Update from December 7th, 1.30 p.m .:
Neither Flick, Neuendorf nor Watzke have been sighted at the DFB headquarters in Frankfurt.
The DFB is apparently doing everything in its power to ensure that no information is leaked to the outside world.
Meanwhile, it is becoming increasingly clear that one person in particular is in charge of the decision-making process: Hans-Joachim Watzke.
The DFB vice president should get more power after the World Cup.
When asked by SZ whether he could imagine Bierhoff’s successor, a football official replied: “Aki alone decides that”.
Aki is the nickname of Hans-Joachim Watzke.
DFB: Bobic cancels Bierhoff successor
Update from December 7, 12:19 p.m .:
According to the information from Sky, Bobic initially ruled out an engagement with the DFB.
"I have a job, I feel very comfortable at Hertha," said the 51-year-old on Wednesday at a media round in Berlin.
Bobic continues: "I wasn't keen on my name being mentioned.
That had a lot would have, have, have".
Seems like a potential Bierhoff successor is taking himself out of the discussion.

Update from December 7th, 11:52 a.m .:
In addition to the flick question, the DFB also has to clarify who should succeed Oliver Bierhoff.
According to
Sky
, one person should not be enough.
In the end, Bierhoff's subject area is said to have simply been too big.
According to Sky
, Matthias Sammer could
"take on an advisory role, but would by no means work on the front line".
With Per Mertesacker and Thomas Hitzlsperger, the pay station throws two more names into the room that should be discussed at the DFB.
However, there is still no contact between the parties.
Fredi Bobic should not be an issue because of his job at Hertha BSC.

Is Hansi Flick staying?
National coach should be allowed to stay on condition
Update from December 7, 11:43 a.m .:
According to a report by Sportbild, Hansi Flick can remain national coach, but only under one condition.
Flick should therefore admit partial responsibility for the preliminary round of the World Cup.
According to the report, the criticism of the DFB leadership is that the team is treated too softly.
It is also about the fact that the players' wives of the DFB stars were allowed to stay overnight in the DFB quarters twice during the World Cup.
Apparently that was an issue even in the team.
Update from December 7, 10:22 a.m .:
The big question at the crisis summit is how does Hansi Flick deal with Oliver Bierhoff’s exit?
The ex-DFB managing director was considered a great confidante of the national coach.
As the picture reports, a special right of termination in the event of a Bierhoff departure was even an issue in the Flick negotiations last year.
However, this does not exist.
However, Flick should have an exit clause.
Munich/Frankfurt
– It's getting down to business.
After the catastrophic preliminary round of the German national team at the 2022 World Cup, there will be a crisis summit in Frankfurt on Wednesday.
DFB: Oliver Bierhoff resigns after World Cup debacle
DFB President Bernd Neuendorf announced immediately after the World Cup: "We have developed a timetable.
It stipulates that we will sit down together next week.” This meeting is taking place today.
A crisis summit was originally planned with Neuendorf, national coach Hansi Flick, DFB Vice Hans-Joachim Watzke and Oliver Bierhoff.
However, DFB managing director Bierhoff resigned late on Monday evening and is therefore unlikely to be there.
Will there be a big bang after Bierhoff's resignation, in which Flick will also throw in the towel?

DFB: Who will be Bierhoff's successor?
The national coach had announced after the withdrawal of "his first contact": "My coaching team and I are finding it difficult at the moment to imagine how the gap created by Oliver's departure can be closed professionally and personally."
Bierhoff's successor will also be an issue at the crisis meeting.
The first names were already circulating in the media on Tuesday.
Bastian Schweinsteiger, Matthias Sammer or Lothar Matthäus were mentioned among others.
