Hansi Flick Keen To Continue As Germany Manager Until EURO 2024

Hansi Flick Keen To Continue As Germany Manager Until EURO 2024

Hansi Flick has no intention of stepping down as Germany manager even if they bow out of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup at the group stage.

Germany will go into their final group game against Costa Rica on Thursday knowing only a win can see them reach the knockout rounds.

Germany lost 2-1 to Japan in their opening game before picking a late point subsequently against Spain.

The Die Mannschaft have underwhelmed at their past two major tournaments, getting knocked out in the group stage at Russia 2018 before only reaching the round of 16 at EURO 2020.

Another failure in Qatar will seem unfathomable for the four-time World champions but Flick intends to continue in his role and lead Germany at EURO 2024 on home soil no matter the outcome of Thursday's game.

"I don't know what else will happen, but from my side, my contract runs to 2024 and I'm looking forward to the Euros," he said at Wednesday's pre-match press conference.

"But we have a while to go until then. We go into the Costa Rica match trying to make things clear from the start, to exert pressure – these are our intentions. 

"Of course we know it'll be difficult against a team who normally defends. We need to adopt the same mentality as we showed against Spain."

"If we look at the table then Costa Rica has an opportunity to go last 16 if they draw, so I assume they'll try to defend as much as possible as they did against Japan," Flick added.

"It's important for us to find a solution. It's our own fault we're in this situation and now we have to do what we can. It's about giving 100 per cent and performing on the day."
