Overview

• Deutsche Telekom confirmed Müller will join MagentaTV’s on‑air team for the tournament, with TV chief Arnim Butzen calling it a “dream transfer.”
• MagentaTV says Müller will provide match analysis, live reactions, informal talks and tactical insights, as the broadcaster carries all 104 World Cup games.
• Nagelsmann praised Müller’s coaching potential but said he will not serve as Germany’s co‑trainer in 2026, noting his Vancouver Whitecaps contract runs to winter 2026.
• The Bundestrainer cited MLS timing, including a late‑June return to training, as the practical obstacle to any staff role next summer.
• Müller’s Instagram teaser about “Summer 2026” preceded the announcement; in his first comments as a TV pundit he urged a strong response from Germany after a poor September, with qualifiers against Luxembourg and Northern Ireland up next.
