Martina Voss -Tecklenburg no longer national coach of German footballers - Berlin citizens report on the end of the cooperation.

Martina Voss-Tecklenburg will no longer return as a national coach of the German footballers. The cooperation with the last pausing 55-year-old ended with immediate effect, the contract was terminated, the German Football Association announced on Saturday. In a joint conversation with Voss-Tecklenburg on Friday, there was agreement that "the team needed a new start in personnel in sporting leadership".

Voss-Tecklenburg had recently looked after the national players at the embarrassing World Cup preliminary round in summer, after which she had reported sick and was last on vacation. "I would like to thank Martina Voss-Tecklenburg on behalf of the DFB and also personally for working in recent years," said DFB President Bernd Neuendorf. "During this time, important impulses were set in the field of women's football."

The meeting on Friday took place in a "trusting atmosphere", the DFB said. According to dpa information, Voss-Tecklenburg is said to have been financially opposed to the association in the compensation of their contract-and thus have cleared the way for a quick agreement.

After the Voss-Tecklenburg's retreat after the World Cup, assistant coach Britta Carlson initially took over the chief post before the association again installed Horst Hrubesch as interim coach in early October. Irritations caused Voss-Tecklenburg to publicly gave lectures away from football during her relaxation vacation instead of promoting the World Cup analysis. "Of course there is a few question marks. I would have liked something else. That you say: Ok, we first clarify what happened at the World Cup," said midfielder Lena Oberdorf. The players recently made no more public for a return of the national coach.

Voss-Tecklenburg had taken over the selection of the 2018 German Football Association as the successor to Hrubesch. At the 2019 World Cup in France, she failed with the German team in the quarter-finals to Sweden and thus also missed the Olympic participation. At the European Championship last year, the former international led the DFB players into the final. There they lost hosts England 1: 2, but at home the successful tournament triggered an euphoria.

The first preliminary round at a World Cup in the history of the women's national team was therefore all the more surprising-but the reappraisal failed. Shortly after the World Cup, the DFB had announced that Voss-Tecklenburg was sick and initially pause. But communication was unfortunate in the following weeks. The impression arose that the association was not at all in the picture of the public appearances of the national coach during her vacation. Another sporting cooperation, as the aim of Voss-Tecklenburg, seemed excluded.

Immediately after the early tournament in Australia and New Zealand, Voss-Tecklenburg had left her personal future open. A concrete statement about consequences would be "not right because it also happens from the emotion", Voss-Tecklenburg said at the ZDF at the time: "So I try to stay with me, to stay objective and to go responsibility." This has now happened in this respect when the internationals now have clarity that the chapter has ended at the DFB.

HSV veteran should provide Hrubescht for the desired qualification for 2024 Olympics. The European teams can only secure the two places intended for them via the Nations League. The final tournament takes place in spring, only the group winners take part.

hardest competitor of the Germans in the preliminary round is Denmark, where the DFB team lost 0: 2 in the first game under Carlson. On December 1st, the second leg will take place in Rostock, with a 2-0 or a win with more than three goals difference, the HRUBich team would take over the lead. The last preliminary round game will take place on December 5th with the previously pointless Welsh. (dpa)

Local Impact in Berlin

The decision of the German Football Association (DFB) to dissolve the contract with Martina Voss-Tecklenburg as national coach of German footballers also has an impact on women's football in Berlin. As a national coach, Voss-Tecklenburg has also given important impulses in the field of Berlin women's football in recent years. Their work and success, such as achieving the final at the EM 2020, have attracted an euphoria and increased attention to women's football in Berlin.

With the end of the collaboration with Voss-Tecklenburg, there is a new beginning in the sporting leadership of German women's football. This will also have an impact on the Berlin football scene, as new people may be appointed to the training and support teams of the selection teams. These personnel changes could also have an impact on Berlin football clubs and schools, since coaches and players may be more focused on the DFB and can result in new opportunities.

The decision to dissolve the contract with Voss-Tecklenburg was met in a trusting conversation and accepted from both sides. According to the dpa information, Voss-Tecklenburg has been financially accommodated by the association in order to enable a quick agreement. This could mean that the DFB now has financial resources to be able to hire new trainers or to offer additional programs to promote women's football in Berlin.

The Berlin football fans will look forward to the further course of the sporting leadership of German women's football and hope that the new beginning of personnel will bring positive impulses for women's football in Berlin.
