Germany men's national football team coach Julian Nagelsmann has extended his contract to lead the team through EURO 2028. However, according to Sky Sport DE journalist Florian Plettenberg, there is a release clause worth €7-8.5 million that can be activated in summer 2027, enabling Nagelsmann to leave for a club if desired. The possibility of this arrangement raises questions about the sustainability of a long national coaching tenure with intense tournaments approaching. Hansi Flick, currently at FC Barcelona, is considering a year-to-year contract strategy instead of a longer commitment.
Julian Nagelsmann's contract with Germany runs to 2028, featuring a release clause that allows a possible return to club football if activated in 2027.
Nagelsmann’s extension raises questions about long-term coaching in a national team role, especially considering how would he handle the intensity of upcoming tournaments.
Analysts note that if Germany performs well in the 2026 World Cup, there may be enticing opportunities for Nagelsmann in prestigious club positions.
Meanwhile, Hansi Flick is pursuing a year-by-year strategy at FC Barcelona, with ongoing discussions about a potential one-year extension.
