After the retirement of four key players, Germany begin a new era when they host Hungary in Saturday's Nations League opener.
An exciting future
Euro 2024 was not just a historic tournament for Germany but it also marked the end of an era with the retirement of key players.
Key Player Retirements
With the retirements of Ilkay Gundogan, Thomas Muller, Manuel Neuer, and Toni Kroos, Germany's national team looks much different ahead of their match against Hungary.
Recent Struggles and Changes
Germany has seen a decline in performance in recent tournaments, failing to advance past the group stages and losing to Spain in Euro 2024 quarter-finals.
New Leadership
Joshua Kimmich has been appointed the new captain, succeeding the experienced players as Germany transitions to a younger squad.
Looking Forward
Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz represent the new generation, but the team requires patience from the public as they adapt.
