Berlin: Hansi Flick will take over as Germany’s coach after the European Championship, replacing Joachim Löw.

Flick signed a three-year contract effective from 1 July 2021 to succeed his former boss, who is ending his 15-year tenure after the tournament, the German soccer federation said today.

The Euro 2020 quarterfinals start on 2 July 2021, so Flick’s team could still be under the control of Löw if Germany gets that far.

Flick’s last game in charge of Bayern Munich was on Saturday. He led Bayern to two Bundesliga titles, a Champions League victory, and German Cup success, the Associated Press news reported.
