BERLIN: Despite the 2014 World Champion's unfortunate group stage exit at the Qatar FIFA World Cup in 2022, Hansi Flick will continue to lead the German national football team.
The announcement was made following a two-hour crisis meeting on Wednesday night in a hotel in Frankfurt close to the association's headquarters.
The 57-year-old was scheduled to outline the factors that led to the failure and provide a picture of how to move past it in time for Germany to host Euro 2024.
After the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Germany's third-place performance in Group E was the second World Cup in a row in which the nation did not advance to the knockout round.
Oliver Bierhoff, the technical director of the German football regulatory body, resigned earlier this week, and Flick might have declined the offer because it was still up in the air who would succeed the 54-year-old.
The head of the German organisation, Bernd Neuendorf, stated that he has complete faith "in Hansi Flick to master the challenge together with his team," and Flick expressed optimism for improvement in 2024.
"In Qatar, we lost a fantastic opportunity. We have taken that as a lesson "said Flick.
