Berlin, Dec 6 (Ians) The timing of the resignation of one of Germany’s highest-ranked football officials might have come as a surprise to many football fans.
However, it was no shock that 54-year-old Oliver Bierhoff took the responsibility for the second group exit at a World Cup within four years and a disappointing Euro 2020.
Critics mounted up on the former striker, who scored the golden goal in the Euro 96 final, but failed to create stability off the pitch following Germany’s 2014 World Cup win.
The departure of the 70-cap former AC Milan forward opens doors for an inevitable re-launch of German football’s struggling development structures.
The coming days might show how far things go as national coach Hansi Flick seems under similar pressure.
Leading positions regarding the national team’s management need to be filled, and the association’s academy requires new input, to say nothing of a new Sporting Director.
