Julian Nagelsmann has resigned as Germany's national team coach, just days after their humiliating World Cup exit against Paraguay — and Manu & Stefan break down exactly how it all fell apart. In this episode, the guys dig into the DFB meeting in Frankfurt that led to Nagelsmann's resignation, why stepping down (rather than getting fired) was the smart financial move, and the wild 180-degree turnaround from his post-Paraguay press conference where he insisted he was staying until Euro 2028. They trace the arc of his career — from wonderkid at Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig, to Bayern Munich, to the German national team — and ask the tough question: did Nagelsmann ever actually have the players, or the personality, to succeed at this level? From designer outfits to tactical inflexibility to simply not knowing which players were even eligible to play for Germany, nothing is off limits. Plus: why this might be the least talented "player pool" in German football in over 15 years, what Nagelsmann needs to do to rebuild his reputation, and why Manu is (mostly) resisting the urge to say "I told you so." 🎙️ Hosted by Manu Veth & Stefan Bienkowski ⚽ The Gegenpressing Podcast — your home for Bundesliga & German football analysis Learn more about your ad choices.
