Germany at Euro 2024: Teams in group, fixtures, schedule, path to final for hosts
Germany steps onto the pitch as Euro 2024 hosts, tasked with delivering a strong performance on home soil. Following a challenging year, head coach Julian Nagelsmann faces pressure to lead the team to glory.
Despite a coaching change in September 2023 after Hansi Flick's departure, the German FA has placed its trust in Nagelsmann with a contract extension until after the 2026 World Cup. While uncertainty lingers, Nagelsmann possesses a talented young squad, including Bundesliga stars Musiala and Wirtz, who offer a spark of excitement.
