JULIAN NAGELSMANN has been appointed as the new German national team coach for Euro 2024, according to reports.
The 36-year-old was sacked from Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich just six months ago.
The former Bayern manager has been out of work since last season as he was replaced by ex-Chelsea and PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
Nagelsmann had been linked to the then-vacant role at PSG, only for Luis Enrique to be named the new manager in the French capital.
Now he is set for a return to the dugout for the national team, according to German outlet Bild.
Germany will host the Euro 2024 and the national team has been without a manager after sacking Hansi Flick last week.

Bayern thought they would be able to demand a fee for any side willing to take him.
But the Bundesliga side recognises the importance of him leading Germany into next summer’s home European Championships.
The 2014 World Cup champions suffered two group-stage exits at the last two World Cups and crashed out of Euro 2020 in the last 16 to England.

They have recorded just three wins from their last 12 fixtures – beating Oman, Costa Rica and Peru.
For this reason, they are not demanding a fee from the German FA in order to release Nagelsmann.
This will be Nagelsmann’s second time replacing Flick as he took over his role at Bayern in 2021.
