Christoph Daum is furious
"The picture of the DFB is catastrophic"

The former Bundesliga coach Christoph Daum rages against the DFB, which is too distant from the fans. The ex-coach does not want anything to come to the national coach Jogi Löw, but now sees him in the debt. Daum also has a clear opinion on a return campaign by Boateng, Hummels and Müller.

Ex-Bundesliga coach Christoph Daum has reprimanded the German Football Association for its external presentation in recent years. The 2018 World Cup in Russia was "the worst case scenario" for the Germans. "The DFB didn't give a good image in terms of its external image either. I'm just talking about the tax affair. Finally, it came out that the association is split into two groups. There is no one language spoken ", said Daum the Internet portal" Sport1 ".

In the past few years, the DFB has moved more and more away from the fans. "It seemed as if any PR appointments were more important than fan issues. The DFB's priorities have to be readjusted," demanded Daum. The 67-year-old defended the national coach. Nobody knows "the team as well as Joachim Löw. The European Championship this year will certainly be a benchmark for the national coach. That will show whether the national team is on the right track in its rejuvenation process." Daum had supported the DFB in holding on to Löw when it was recently put to the test.

Löw is now called upon, "he has given a clear path with the upheaval and must be measured against it. And the calls for Müller, Boateng and Hummels have to be silent, they would not fit into Löw's concept at all," explained Daum. who had looked after 1. FC Cologne, Eintracht Frankfurt, VfB Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

In mid-December, Daum had also spoken out about the Bundesliga and made it clear that after eight years he was finally hoping for a German soccer champion other than Bayern Munich. A candidate: his ex-club Leverkusen. "It would be great for German football if Bayer would make it. A sensational signal to the league," the ex-coach told "Bild" at the time. "This season is a lucky bag for everyone – and therefore also an opportunity for everyone."
