"Then I think myself": Kuntz leaves future open - Olympic Games

"My body gives clear signals that he is on the border. I may now drive away two weeks away, turn off the phone. Then I'll think about my future," said the 58-year-old before returning to Germany " Picture".

Just after the 1: 1 against the Ivory Coast, Kuntz had reacted to the question of his future. "If I could say something about my future immediately after the game, I would not have been fully with the game. I'm in peace, if I'm a little rest."

U 21 was very successful under Kuntz

Kuntz has been coach of U 21 since 2016 and won with this twice the EM title (2017 and 2021), but in the run-up to the Olympic Games, many setbacks had to accept, especially with regard to the compilation of his squad.

At the beginning of September, qualification for the U-21-EM 2023 starts, where the tickets for the Olympic Games 2024 will be awarded in Paris. Whether Kuntz, whose contract is running at the DFB until 2023, will be on the rudder, is not quite clear, but his players would be missing the coach.

"If it had been the last game, that would of course be sad. The coach is a great man, has shaped us to a unity. Bitter, if we had said goodbye now," said defender Jordan Torunarigha.
