Benjamin Hübner appointed assistant coach of German national team
The DFB have today announced the appointment of Benjamin Hübner as the new assistant coach of the German national team. The 35-year-old has signed a three-year contract and will work under Julian Nagelsmann, and alongside Benjamin Glück and Mads Buttgereit from July 1. Hübner's appointment comes after Sandro Wagner confirmed that he will leave his role as assistant coach under Nagelsmann to pursue a head coaching role following the finals of the UEFA Nations League at the start of June. Advertisement In a press release, Hübner was quoted as saying: 'Being able to work for the national team is a huge honour. I'm really looking forward to my new role as part of this coaching team. The most successful period of my career at Hoffenheim came under Julian Nagelsmann, it helped shape me as a player but also as an assistant coach later on in my career. I'm therefore really excited for our first games in September and naturally the World Cup next year, where we will give our absolute best.' Nagelsmann added: 'I know Benni really well from our three years together in Hoffenheim. He was always a true team player, who was desperate to help the team be successful and he always put personal interests aside. Even as a player, he thought strategically and was a leader both on and off the pitch. It's precisely these qualities, along with his experience as a player, that make him an excellent addition to our coaching staff. That's why I'm really looking forward to working with Benni again now with the national team.' GGFN | Daniel Pinder
