Julian Nagelsmann, the German national team coach, responded enthusiastically to the idea of 36-year-old German forward Thomas Müller returning to the German national team in a technical staff role. Nagelsmann stated: "Thomas is absolutely a candidate for such a position. He has everything it takes to become a head coach. What is not the case now, may still come in the future." Nagelsmann also noted that Müller still has a contract in Canada until the end of 2026 and that his club would not be pleased if he left to become an assistant at Germany. Nagelsmann said: "He still has a contract in Vancouver until December 2026. As far as I know, they'll start training around June 26…" According to Transfermarkt, Müller has a current market value of €6.00m.
