Julian Nagelsmann has been named manager of Germany with a deal that runs through July 2024.
The 36-year-old replaces Hansi Flick, who was fired following a string of disappointing results that included a 4-1 friendly loss to Japan earlier this month.
Nagelsmann has been jobless since his dismissal by Bayern Munich in March, less than two years into his tenure as manager.
The European Championship finals, which take place from 14 June to 14 July 2024, will be held in Germany.
“We have a European Championship in our own country. That’s something special – something that happens every few decades,” said Nagelsmann.
“I have a great desire to take on this challenge. We will be a close-knit group next year.”
Die mannschaft will play United States in a friendly in Connecticut on October 14 before taking on Mexico in Philadelphia three days later.
