Despite losing to Japan in a recent friendly and a record of only one win in 2023, Hansi Flick still believes he is the best coach for Germany

Flick’s job was considered to be under minor threat, but the DFB decided to stick with the 58-year-old manager, who is building a squad to compete at the 2024 Euros being hosted by Germany.
However, recent results, including only one win in their last six matches, have seen Flick’s popularity waver even more, and the former Bayern Munich coach has seen calls for his sack after the latest 4-1 loss to Japan.
Flick says he is still the man
Germany have lost four of their last six matches since the World Cup and have not claimed a win since March this year, but Flick is adamant that he should continue in his post and see out his contract.
Speaking after Germany’s loss to Japan, Flick said to SPORT1, “I still feel I’m the right man for Germany job. But I also know that football is dynamic. So, I can’t predict what happens next.
