Julian Nagelsmann has resigned from his position as head coach of the German national football team following the country’s early elimination from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to Al Jazeera, as reported by GoogleNewsEN, Nagelsmann submitted his resignation in the aftermath of Germany’s premature exit from the tournament. The precise stage of the competition at which Germany was eliminated was not further specified in the available source material.

Nagelsmann had been serving as head coach of the Deutsche Fußball-Nationalmannschaft and was widely regarded as one of the prominent figures in contemporary European football. His appointment had been viewed as part of a broader renewal process within the German Football Association (DFB).

Based on the available source material, the DFB has not yet made a public statement regarding a successor or the future direction of the national team programme.

The party could not be reached for comment.

Germany’s elimination at the 2026 World Cup represents a further setback for one of the sport’s historically dominant nations, which has experienced a series of disappointing results at major international tournaments in recent years.
