First-ever sacking in history
The Germany position is up for grabs after former Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick was sacked by DFB, making him the first-ever manager to be dismissed in the history of the role.
Felix Magath steps forward
Former Fulham manager Felix Magath has declared himself as the ideal candidate to lead Germany to glory when they host EURO 2024.
I am the man to put Germany back together
"We urgently need someone who can put this completely insecure team back together, which is no longer able to match its performance," Magath said in response to Flick's sacking.
Respected in Germany, remembered in England for cheese-healing theory
The 70-year-old Magath is well respected in Germany, having won the Bundesliga three times. However, in England, he is best known for attempting to heal injuries with cheese during his spell at Fulham.
The cheese controversy
Former Fulham players Brede Hangeland and Danny Murphy revealed that Magath suggested using a lump of cheese soaked in alcohol to treat injuries. Magath did not deny the suggestion but claimed it was blown out of proportion.
Magath's career after Fulham
Following his time at Fulham, Magath went on to manage Chinese Super League club Shandong Luneng before taking on global sports director roles at Austrian side Admira Wacker and German club Würzburger Kickers. He briefly returned to management with Hertha Berlin in 2022.
Other contenders for the Germany job
Julian Nagelsmann, Ralph Hasenhuttl, and Zinedine Zidane are among the names linked with the vacant Germany position. Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has expressed his interest but reaffirmed his commitment to the club.
