Germany appoints Hansi Flick as coach after Euro 2020
Associated PressBERLIN — Hansi Flick will take over as Germany coach after the European Championship, replacing Joachim Löw. The Euro 2020 quarterfinals start July 2, so Flick’s team could still be under the control of Löw if Germany gets that far. “It’s a wonderful thing that Hansi Flick is returning to the federation as national team coach,” German federation vice president Peter Peters said. “He has developed as a person and as a coach since his already successful time here — not only shown by his fantastic success with FC Bayern.” Flick inherits a team still trying to adjust after an unsuccessful shakeup following Germany’s disappointing World Cup in 2018. “It all went surprisingly quickly for me with the signature, but I’m very happy to be able to work as the national team coach from autumn onward,” said Flick, who wished Löw success at Euro 2020.
