Julian Nagelsmann is set to resign as Germany coach, according to reports in the newspaper, Bild.

It was reported ⁠on Friday ​the 38-year-old had agreed to leave following talks with senior German soccer ⁠officials, ⁠a three-hour “secret summit” on Thursday at the German ​Football Association (DFB) headquarters in ‌Frankfurt.

That pundit was Ange Postecoglou, and now, Asia’s No 1 team need him to not just talk the talk but walk the nation to the top level of the global game. The federation in Tokyo should do all they can to get his signature on a lengthy contract as he is going to be in demand this summer.
