Soon the new national coach
Flick is only about “little things”
Soon everything could go very quickly: It is no secret that Hansi Flick will inherit Joachim Löw as national coach. Now the Bayern coach says that everything is fixed with the DFB and only small details have to be clarified. He didn’t mourn anything about Munich, but remained a “fan”.
The designated national coach Hansi Flick and the German Football Association (DFB) are apparently only separated by the last details. “I’ve talked to the DFB and everyone knows how I feel about the national team,” said the outgoing Bayern Munich coach, “but it is also the case that things always have to be settled, there are small things at stake.”
When everything is ready, “things can be announced quickly,” added Flick (56). He wanted to answer possible other inquiries before the derby for the season finale against FC Augsburg on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / in the live ticker on ntv.de.) Do not utter “as always”. Flick is the first candidate to succeed Joachim Löw, who gives up his DFB job after the European Championship (June 11th to July 11th) after 15 years.
The Löw assistant in the 2014 World Cup triumph “enjoyed” his 19 months as head coach in Munich with seven titles and promised: “I was a Bayern fan from childhood and will continue to be a Bayern fan. This is a club that is close to my heart. I will continue to cheer. ” But he is looking forward to “that something new is coming”, emphasized Flick: “Life is always in flux, it is not that I regret anything.”
He is also looking forward to the vacation, “but I’m not so exhausted that I need a break forever, not at all, no time at all”. Flick could play his first international match as national coach on September 5th in the World Cup qualifying against Armenia.
He gave his professionals David Alaba, Jérôme Boateng and Javi Martinez a guarantee against the FCA. “Anyone who can play will play,” he said. Bayern, where world footballer Robert Lewandowski is aiming for the sole Bundesliga scoring record, want to “prove our quality again,” announced Flick.
