Germany Soccer Coach Hansi Flick Fired After Disappointing World Cup
Flick's Departure Marks the End of an Era
Hansi Flick has been fired as Germany's soccer coach after the team's disappointing performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Flick took over as coach in 2021, replacing Joachim Low. He led the team to victory in the 2021 UEFA European Championship but failed to guide them past the group stage at the World Cup.
Flick's Record as Germany Coach
Flick's overall record as Germany coach was 19 wins, 10 draws, and 9 losses.
He won 74% of his games in charge, a higher percentage than any other Germany coach in history.
However, his team's performance at the World Cup was a major disappointment. Germany finished third in their group behind Japan and Spain and failed to qualify for the knockout stages.
Reasons for Flick's Dismissal
There are several reasons why Flick was fired.
- Germany's disappointing performance at the World Cup.
- Flick's failure to develop a consistent playing style.

He was the first coach to win a major trophy with the team since Franz Beckenbauer in 1990.
His departure leaves a big hole in the German soccer landscape.
Who Will Replace Flick?
It is not yet known who will replace Flick as Germany coach.
Some of the potential candidates include:
