JAKARTA - The German national team was eliminated from the 2022 World Cup despite winning over Costa Rica in the last match of Group E. The reason is, at the same time, Japan also won over Spain with a score of 2-1.

The situation put their coach Hansi Flick in danger of being fired. The coach is well aware of his own situation, but declined to comment much.

The 57-year-old coach chose to remain calm and said that the continuation of his career in the team would soon be discussed. However, it cannot be decided quickly, especially since the team is currently in a slump.

"We will finish (continue to become coach) quickly, it is difficult to answer now that after the game, especially after we are eliminated," Flick said, quoted from Metro on Friday, December 2.

"We'll see about that decision (his career continuation) soon," continued Flick.

Flick is still under contract with the German national team until July 2024. But it is not impossible that his contract ended prematureally with Der panzer following his poor performance at the 2022 World Cup.

This result made a bad record for Germany, which was twice eliminated in the group phase in a row. The first failure took place at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

At that time Germany was also eliminated in the group stage and lost to the Asian team. Der Panzer surrendered 0-2 from South Korea.
