Chrobry Glogow Overview

Oliver Baumann has revealed that former Germany manager Julian Nagelsmann apologised for dropping him right before the 2026 World Cup. The 36-year-old goalkeeper was expected to start after playing throughout qualifying but was benched when Manuel Neuer came out of international retirement prior to Germany’s round-of-32 exit.

Red Bull have appointed former Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt as their new Global Head of Soccer following Jurgen Klopp's departure. Schmidt steps into the role after Klopp left the organisation to replace Julian Nagelsmann as Germany head coach.

Bayern Munich and Germany legend Manuel Neuer has confirmed that his illustrious career is likely reaching its final chapter. The veteran goalkeeper, who has defined the modern "sweeper-keeper" role, admitted that he expects to hang up his gloves when his current contract expires in 2027.

DFB sporting director Rudi Voller pointed out clear differences between Julian Nagelsmann and his successor Jurgen Klopp following the former Liverpool manager's appointment as the new Germany head coach. Speaking in Mainz, Voller noted that Klopp would be far more visible at matches while suggesting Nagelsmann proved "too sensitive" to intense public criticism.
