His sharp public critique raises pressure on the German federation and fuels expectations that Jürgen Klopp may be installed to steady the team.

Felix Magath wirft Nagelsmann und dem DFB Versagen und falsche Strukturen vor.

Overview

  • Felix Magath intensified public criticism on Tuesday, July 21, saying Julian Nagelsmann was a "krasse Fehlentscheidung" and "völlig überfordert" as Germany's coach.
  • Magath argued Nagelsmann's inexperience led to tactical errors and poor selection, saying the coach "assembled the squad wrong" and that the team had "no game."
  • He singled out Euro 2024 decisions, saying Toni Kroos's late recall "rescued" that tournament performance and underscored a lack of coherent game plan under Nagelsmann.
  • Magath also attacked the Deutscher Fußball-Bund's staffing and structure, recounting an anecdote about a 24-year-old analyst's assistant giving tactical advice as evidence of inexperience.
  • Nagelsmann resigned after Germany's early 2026 World Cup exit and media reporting says Jürgen Klopp is widely expected to succeed him, though no DFB appointment has been confirmed; the federation now faces choices on staff, style and player selection.
