New DFB boss Voller ‘worried’ about future of German football
The HinduIncoming German Football Association boss Rudi Voller said on Friday he was “worried about the future of football in the country,” promising changes in the way the game is run. Voller, who won the World Cup with West Germany in 1990, was appointed to “lay the foundations for a successful home European Championship in 2024”, the DFB said on Thursday evening. Speaking at his unveiling on Friday, Voeller, who admitted he “didn’t really want to do the job at the beginning”, said he believed the team could be successful at the Euros in 2024, but feared for the team’s chances in the medium term. “We have a wonderful team for the next few years, but then I’ll be worried.” Voller criticised the current development setup, saying “training hasn’t been done in a way that really good players have been developed.” Voller has been in the sporting director role at Bayer Leverkusen for the best part of two decades and called upon Germany’s football clubs to take on a bigger burden in player development.
