"This decision comes from the heart. It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity to coach the national team and work with the best players in the country. Through successful and passionate performances, we have the chance to inspire the entire nation.

The two victories against France and the Netherlands in March allowed us to feel this. I was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the fans. Now, we all want to play a successful European Championship at home, which is what we all aspire to.

After that, I look forward to the challenge of the World Cup with my coaching staff," Nagelsmann shared his thoughts.
