Julian Nagelsmann makes a special squad announcement
First report from February 28th
: Squad nominations for the German national soccer team always receive special media attention.
When national coach Julian Nagelsmann announces his DFB squad for the international matches against France (March 23) and the Netherlands (March 26) on March 14th, there will be particularly great interest.
After all, it is the first squad in the year of the 2024 European Championship, which will take place in Germany in June and July.

Revolution before EM 2024?
That's why Nagelsmann's DFB squad is eagerly awaited
One personality has already been fixed: World champion Toni Kroos is returning to the national team after three years.
“We don't have to invite ten new players, but one or two will definitely not be nominated, who many people think will definitely be there,” says Julian Nagelsmann to “Spiegel”.

“We tell ourselves that Germany is a top football nation, even though we have been experiencing failures for years.
This is not how you get back on the road to success.
We finally have to start working on football again,” explains Nagelsmann.
DFB squad for international matches in March: Are these Bayern stars wobbling?
This will also be reflected in the squad nomination in March.
In addition to Kroos' return, it is already clear that Bayern star Joshua Kimmich will play in the right-back position in the future.
Recently, a trio in the Bundesliga with Deniz Undav, Waldemar Anton from VfB Stuttgart and Aleksandar Pavlovic from FC Bayern Munich was able to attract attention and could also play a role in Nagelsmann's considerations.
In return, one or two stars could surprisingly no longer be there.
The question is: How radical are the changes in the DFB squad?
It can be assumed that long-time national players such as Niklas Süle, Serge Gnabry or Leon Goretzka could also wobble.

Germany is preparing for the European Championships in its own country
Nagelsmann has announced that he would like to promote a similar distribution of roles to the German national basketball team at the European Championships in his own country.
The DBB team sensationally became world champions in 2023.
This aspect alone could cause one or two players who were previously part of the DFB team's squad to fall out of the grid.

Host Germany will face Scotland (June 14th), Hungary (June 19th) and Switzerland (June 23rd) at the European Championships.
The DFB team will move into their quarters in Herzogenaurach.
By the way, it is currently still completely open whether Julian Nagelsmann will continue as national coach after the 2024 European Championship.
