The manager has left it to the German football association to decide whether he would continue in his role or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">\u201cI\u2019m available. If the DFB want me to stay until 2028, I will. If they don\u2019t, then I\u2019ll go,\u201d Nagelsmann said to reporters post Germany\u2019s Round of 32 elimination against Paraguay in the World Cup (as captured by <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/iMiaSanMia\/status\/2071748909588717799\" rel=\"nofollow\">@iMiaSanMia<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019m not someone who runs away. I\u2019m available if that\u2019s what the DFB wants. If they don\u2019t want me, they need to tell me. I want to continue. In football, you don\u2019t have complete control. If the DFB wants me to, I\u2019d be happy to prepare for the Euros and the Nations League. If they don\u2019t want me to, they need to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Of the criticism Nagelsmann has received during his time at the helm of the German national team has been his stubborn attitude. Forcing systems and players that are not working have led to Germany playing like a group of individuals rather than a cohesive team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The first half against Paraguay was a perfect example of the way Nagelsmann\u2019s setup has been functioning. Nearly 80% possession but no shots on goal, whereas Paraguay needed just the 20% possession to score a goal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">The half-time changes made a difference but some questionable officiating resulted in Jonathan Tah\u2019s winner to be cancelled by VAR. Regardless of the external factors, Germany very much could have finished the game much earlier had they not dawdled about when they had the advantage against a tired Paraguay side. Penalties are always tricky for any matchup, but a team ranked #10 getting eliminated by #41 ranked side necessitate some major changes for the former.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The head coach of Germany, Julian Nagelsmann made it clear that he has no intention of resigning and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":769185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,130440,85],"class_list":["post-769184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-german-national-team-and-international-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=769184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/769184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/769185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=769184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=769184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=769184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
