OFFICIAL: New German 'Task force' set up to help Germany in Euro 2024

The DFB has set up a task force with Oliver Kahn, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Matthias Sammer, Rudi Völler and Oliver Mintzlaff whose task will be to advise, support and assist Hansi Flick, the national team and the DFB ahead of Euro 2024 and beyond.

The German Football Association (DFB) on Tuesday announced a think tank to help restore the country's fortunes after a dismal performance at the World Cup in Qatar.

Germany have struggled on the international stage since winning the World Cup in 2014, winning just three of their last 11 matches at a major tournament.

They failed to get out of the group stage at the 2018 World Cup in Russia and suffered the same fate in Qatar where they lost to Japan, drew with Spain and won their final match against Costa Rica.

Coach Hansi Flick has been confirmed in his role until 2024 despite the early elimination in Qatar but the DFB need to find a new team director after Oliver Bierhoff left his post.

The Germans will also have to line up, on a temporary basis at least, without their experienced goalkeeper and captain, Manuel Neuer.

The 36-year-old Bayern player broke his leg skiing after returning from Qatar and will miss the rest of the season.
