Germany's coach Nagelsmann aims for World Cup victory in the upcoming year, declaring it as the team's objective.
Germany's Julian Nagelsmann Aims for Winning Start in World Cup Qualifiers
Germany's national football team is gearing up for their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign, with coach Julian Nagelsmann expressing his ambition to lead the team to victory. Despite recent losses to Portugal and France in the Nations League, Nagelsmann remains confident about the team's desire to win the World Cup.
The 2026 World Cup will be co-hosted by the US, Canada, and Mexico. Germany, as overwhelming favourites in Group A, are aiming to advance in the qualifying campaign and make a strong showing at the tournament. Their first qualifier is against Slovakia on Thursday.
Nagelsmann emphasises the importance of maintaining rhythm in the team's performances and stabilising following their recent losses. He believes that focusing on the process, rather than the big goal, is key to reaching the World Cup. The coach also wants to make a winning start in the qualifying campaign, with the primary goal being to win matches and qualify for the 2026 World Cup.
Germany will kick off their qualifying campaign in Bratislava, and will also host Northern Ireland on Sept. 7 in Cologne. Luxembourg is also part of Germany's group in the qualifiers. Nagelsmann reiterates the team's ambition to win the 2026 World Cup, but acknowledges that it will not be an easy task.
Some domestic polls have shown that not all fans share Nagelsmann's confidence, with some expressing concerns about the team's recent performances. However, Nagelsmann believes it is important to set goals, even if they are ambitious. He stresses that it is about maintaining a positive attitude and working hard to achieve the team's goals.
Germany were eliminated in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 in Nagelsmann's first tournament in charge, and were also knocked out in the group stage at the last two editions of the World Cup. The coach is determined to turn things around and lead the team to success in the 2026 World Cup.
As the qualifying campaign gets underway, all eyes will be on Germany to see if they can live up to their potential and secure a place in the 2026 World Cup. With Nagelsmann at the helm, fans are hopeful that the team can regain their dominance and once again become a force to be reckoned with on the international stage.
