Nadiem Amiri Rejoins German National Team After Four-Year Absence

The Mainz 05 midfielder's career resurgence under Julian Nagelsmann's guidance leads to a return ahead of the Nations League quarterfinal against Italy.

Nadiem Amiri has been recalled to the German national football team for the first time since November 2020, following a four-and-a-half-year absence.
Amiri's move to Mainz 05 in early 2024 revitalized his career, helping the team avoid relegation and currently contend for a Champions League spot.
German coach Julian Nagelsmann, who previously worked with Amiri in his youth career, played a key role in his national team recall.
Amiri feels more comfortable in the current team environment compared to his last nomination under Joachim Löw.
The midfielder is training with the squad and hopes to contribute significantly in the Nations League quarterfinal against Italy at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on Thursday.
