The German national team have appointed former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann to take over until the upcoming European Championship.
The former Bayern manager has been out of work since being sacked by the German titans last season, to be replaced by ex-Chelsea and PSG coach Thomas Tuchel.
There were reports linking Nagelsmann to the then-vacant role at PSG, only for Luis Enrique to be named new manager in the French capital.
According to German outlet BILD, the German manager is set to forego around £17million in wages that he would earn at Bayern until 2026 in order to take the hot seat for the German national team.
That is not to say that Nagelsmann will be earning nothing while in charge of Die Mannschaft.
Reports claim that he is set to earn some £3.5m for working up until next summer, now that his contract with the Bavarians is reportedly terminated in full.
Once the manager’s tenure is over, he will then go back on the market, with no indications as yet that he will remain in charge.
The upcoming European Championship will be played in Germany next summer, the first time a major tournament has been hosted there since the 2006 World Cup.
