Beckenbauer: Frick is well suited to be the Manager of the German team, but it is not clear if Bayern will let him go

In the early part of this week, Loew announced that he would leave the German national team after the end of this summer's European Championship, and german football star Beckenbauer also expressed his views in an interview with Bild, who also resigned from the national team after leading West Germany to win the World Cup in 1990 as a coach.

- After announcing his departure early, is Loew in danger of becoming a "lame duck"?

"How come, for a club coach, if the departure is announced early it will be a problem, there will be factions in the team. But in the national team it's completely different, the players are only together for a few weeks, and all they think about is one thing, which is to play at their best. Loew has a lot of authority, and I don't think that's going to cause him any problems. ”

How was the departure in 1990 for you?

"At that time I had told the German Football Association six months earlier that I would leave after the World Cup. So I no longer feel nervous and unenlived, and I tell myself that you have to bear the consequences of making a decision yourself before others notice. I can imagine that Loew now feels liberated. ”

- You won the world championship before you left, Andrough won the European Championship this time?

"After his 15 years of successful career, I very much hope he will win the championship. And one thing is clear: what he leaves his successor is a fertile land, a complete team. ”

- Who should succeed Loew? Flick? Mateus?

'They're all good candidates, Flick is a good fit and he knows the German Football Association very well, but I'm not sure Bayern will let him go."

"In addition, I have absolute confidence in the ability of Mateus to work, he has experience in many parts of the world and has improved a lot. Yes, why can't it be him? ”
