Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann responds to pressure after the national team is eliminated from the 2026 World Cup in the round of 32 by Paraguay on penalties. NDTV and multiple other outlets report that Nagelsmann publicly says he does not plan to resign and wants to continue if the German Football Federation (DFB) retains confidence in him. Times of India similarly describes intensifying scrutiny and notes that Nagelsmann has distanced himself from immediate talks about his future, while also stating he will remain in the role if the federation supports him.

At the same time, other reports say the situation is shifting toward a change in leadership. Yahoo Sports, Channel NewsAsia, and The Mirror cite reporting that Nagelsmann is set to quit, including claims that DFB leadership suggested he should depart after a meeting in Frankfurt. The overall picture across sources is that the defeat triggers an internal debate about the coach’s future, with Nagelsmann’s stance contrasting with media claims that he may step down. Jürgen Klopp is also repeatedly mentioned as a potential candidate linked to the opening.
