Nagelsmann's EM plan: Full throttle for the DFB team in Munich!

His appointment came after a long coaching in which DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and sports director Rudi Völler gave him a clear promise.

After his time at FC Bayern Munich, where he worked for almost two years, Nagelsmann is now heading to the 2024 European Championship, which takes place in Germany. At a press conference in Blankenhain, as from BR , he was positive about this tournament, which is important for Germany.

The challenge EM 2024

The opening game of the Euro 2024 will be held against Scotland in Munich on June 14th. Nagelsmann sees this challenge as an important opportunity to realize his ideals and strategies in international football. He addressed the importance of work on the pitch and expects his players to go into training fully motivated and vigorous.

In the run -up to the tournament, Nagelsmann plans to prepare the team for the upcoming games in a training camp. Six players from FC Bayern, including Manuel Neuer and Joshua Kimmich, are part of the European Championship. However, there are currently some health concerns: Manuel Neuer has a gastrointestinal infection, and ten players are currently missing due to club obligations or injuries. Only 19 players were present during public training, but Nagelsmann plans to get an originally not nominated player out of vacation in an emergency.

In terms of FC Bayern, Nagelsmann was pleased with the impending commitment of Vincent Kompany as a new coach. He explained that the search for the coach was lengthy, but this was good for the players.

The training of the national team took place in the Ernst-Abbe sports field in Jena, where Nagelsmann attracted 15,000 fans. The enthusiasm of the fans in Thuringia, as he emphasized, is an essential part of his motivation to prepare the team for the EM as best as possible. "We don't have to be paralyzed by the expectations," said Nagelsmann and added that the players should also enjoy the time in the training camp.
