Overview

• Deutsche Telekom’s MagentaTV confirmed Müller will be a television expert for its full 2026 World Cup coverage, which includes all 104 matches.
• Telekom TV chief Arnim Butzen hailed the signing as a “dream transfer,” with plans for Müller to deliver analysis, tactical insight and on‑air conversations.
• An Instagram teaser referencing “Summer 2026” preceded the announcement and stoked media chatter about a possible DFB return in some role.
• Nagelsmann praised Müller’s coach-ready profile but said a World Cup co-trainer role is impractical due to his Vancouver Whitecaps contract through winter 2026 and a late-June preseason restart.
• As Germany seeks points against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland, in‑form Bayern players are expected to lift the squad, and Nagelsmann noted ongoing contact with Manuel Neuer without signaling a recall.
