In a stunning development, Germany's head coach Julian Nagelsmann has resigned after the national team was ousted from the FIFA World Cup 2026 in the Round of 32. This surprising exit marks a dramatic end to Nagelsmann's leadership, as Germany's performance fell short of expectations during the tournament, according to Sky Sports.

The German Football Association (DFB) reportedly conducted a thorough analysis of the team's early exit and held a three-and-a-half-hour meeting, ultimately pressing for Nagelsmann's resignation.
