Germany's head coach Julian Nagelsmann has unequivocally ruled out resigning after the shocking elimination of the DFB team by Paraguay in the Round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Immediately following the dramatic penalty shootout defeat in Boston, the young tactician addressed his future at the helm of the national squad.

"I am available if the German Football Association (DFB) wants me. If the federation doesn't want that, they simply have to tell me," Nagelsmann stated directly on German national television channel ZDF.

The coach made it clear that he has no intention of voluntarily stepping down, despite the team's latest disappointing performance at a World Cup. He demonstrated resolve, emphasizing his readiness to face the consequences of the severe collapse in the knockout stages, but without abandoning his post in a difficult situation.

"I am not one of those people who run away from responsibility; that is completely out of the question," concluded Germany's national team coach.
