The German team was heavily disappointed at the 2022 World Cup when it was unable to qualify for the group stage, although they were rated higher than the other two opponents, Japan and Costa Rica. However, in the end, coach Hansi Flick’s teachers and students could only win a single victory in the group stage against Costa Rica, but drew with Spain and were bitterly defeated by Japan on the opening day.
This result made the German team regretfully return home after the group stage and recently, Director Oliver Bierhoff also said goodbye to the team after about 18 years of working here.
Toni Kroos recommends Per Mertesacker as Germany national team director.
Notably, in the list of candidates to replace Oliver Bierhoff appeared the name Per Mertesacker, Arsenal’s Hale End academy director. Commenting on his former teammate at the German national team, midfielder Toni Kroos expressed: “I think Per Mertesacker is the ideal choice for the vacant seat of the German team. He is a person with enough expertise, personality, understanding and relationships to sit in that position.
Per Mertesacker is very professional and his friendliness allows him to connect more with the German fans. In my eyes, he is the best fit for the role. He also has extensive experience in developing young players at Arsenal.”
