2. Matthias Sammer
Rudi Voller sees Julian Nagelsmann as his go-to choice to replace Hansi Flick as Germany coach, yet Bayern Munich have him under contract until 2026 and thus require a transfer fee in order to free him up.
Sammer was instrumental in revolutionising Germany's youth development system under Low, helping identify talent at grassroots levels and leading Bayern to its first treble since 1962 by winning Bundesliga, Champions League and DFB-Pokal in his first season as manager.
His communication skills and ability to remain calm during stressful situations and maintain focus are highly-rated by those close to him. Unfortunately, however, he has no management experience outside Germany; therefore taking on a job abroad might be too big of a jump for him; nonetheless he deserves consideration; currently serving as advisor to Borussia Dortmund and DFB's task force on national team issues.

However, the DFB have many options to consider when searching for their replacement. One such person could be Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso who could bring with him years of experience to his new position.
Rudi Voller of Germany's national setup sporting director described Julian Nagelsmann as the dream solution; however, due to being under contract at Bayern and require compensation before sanctioning his move may deter some.
