Bild reports that the DFB and Julian Nagelsmann have reached an agreement in principle for the former Bayern Munich manager to become Germany’s new head coach.
The agreement is that Nagelsmann will be in charge for Euro 2024, which is being held in Germany, and then he will be available once again. The final details of the agreement still need to be qualified but Nagelsmann’s salary is expected to be around €400k a month.
The former Bayern manager has cut short his contract with the club, meaning the DFB will not have to pay any fee for the acquisition of Nagelsmann. Due to his early dismissal, Nageslmann was set to receive €20m until 2026 from Bayern but he has accepted the salary reduction.
The short-term deal for Nagelsmann kicks the can down the road for the DFB as they will once again be looking for another coach to lead them to the World Cup in 2026. It is widely known that the DFB’s goal is to have Jürgen Klopp as the Bundestrainer eventually and the short-term deal for Nagelsmann could suggest that they will try to lure the current Liverpool boss back to Germany next summer.
Sancho is currently training away from the first-team squad, and reports claim that he won’t be reintegrated into the manager’s plans until he issues an apology.
Amidst this, there has been speculation that he could leave the club in January. Dortmund have been linked with a reunion, but SportBILD clarify that they are not keen.
The German publication state that the 23-year-old is ‘simply not an issue’ for the club at the moment, but the winger could have other options in the winter transfer window.
Sancho still has time to save his United career
Sancho was phenomenal during his time in Germany with Dortmund. He scored 50 goals and provided 64 assists from just 137 appearances across all competitions.
Since his move to Old Trafford, he has been playing in his shadow. He has just 12 goals and six assists from 82 appearances for United under multiple managers.
