Germany team director Oliver Bierhoff has become the first casualty of their first-round World Cup exit in Qatar after agreeing to leave his post two years before his contract ends, the DFB said on Tuesday.
Bierhoff played a part in helping Germany win the last of their four World Cup titles in 2014 and Neuendorf said his efforts would not be forgotten.
Germany crashed out of the tournament in Qatar after losing to Japan, drawing with Spain and beating Costa Rica in the last Group E match. Spain and Japan advanced from that group. Germany coach Hansi Flick, who took over after last year's Euros, said Bierhoff's departure was a big blow. “Our co-operation was always marked by loyalty, team spirit and reliability. Solidarity was the DNA of the team.”
