Germany's national coach Julian Nagelsmann has announced a squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League matches against Hungary and the Netherlands, marking his first selection since the retirements of key players Manuel Neuer, Toni Kroos, Thomas Müller, and İlkay Gündoğan. The only new addition is Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller, who impressed in the Bundesliga last season. Nagelsmann aims to maintain continuity while integrating younger players into the squad, emphasizing that the core group remains largely unchanged despite the high-profile retirements. Notably absent from the squad are Leon Goretzka and Antonio Rudiger, as Nagelsmann seeks to balance experience with fresh talent. The matches will serve as a crucial stepping stone as the team prepares for the 2026 World Cup, with Joshua Kimmich likely to take on a leadership role. Germany will play Hungary in Düsseldorf on September 7 and face the Netherlands in Amsterdam on September 10.
