Julian Nagelsmann is set to stay on as the head coach of the Germany national team after agreeing to a contract extension.
The 36-year-old replaced Hansi Flick in September 2023, signing a short-term deal up until after the European Championships this summer.
Nagelsmann has won three of his six matches in charge of the side, overseeing victories over France and the Netherlands in March, and will now stay on beyond the summer on a long-term deal.
Germany face Scotland in the tournament opener on June 14 before meetings with Hungary and Switzerland in Group A. They are next in action against Ukraine and Greece in June in a pair of pre-tournament warm-ups.
Nagelsmann previously managed Bayern Munich and enjoyed a two-year tenure at RB Leipzig, where he helped steer them to the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in club history. He previously spent three years at Hoffenheim.
He had been linked to a return to Bayern, who will be in the market for a new manager this summer after Thomas Tuchel’s departure at the end of the season.
Nagelsmann had attracted interest from Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Paris Saint-Germain last summer, before the clubs ultimately chose to appoint Mauricio Pochettino, Ange Postecoglou, and Luis Enrique, respectively.
Euro 2024 will begin on June 14 with Germany automatically qualifying as the host nation.
