The DFB is parting ways with national coach Hansi Flick, and he is being followed on an interim basis by a trio around Rudi Völler. Who will be the long-term successor is open – apparently the association has not had very many discussions.
Rudi Völler can tell stories about the fate of being in the wrong place at the wrong time that not only changed his life, but also that of German football. At the big crisis summit in the living room of the DFB insurance agent Erwin Himmelseher in Frechen-Königsdorf, the DFB President Gerhard Mayer-Vorfelder surprised him by suddenly exclaiming: “You do it, Rudi.” So Völler became team boss of the national team.
