BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's Under-21 coach Stefan Kuntz will be released from his contract if he agrees a deal to take over as Turkey manager, the German FA (DFB) said on Friday.

Turkey last week parted company with head coach Senol Gunes by mutual consent after they were thrashed 6-1 by the Netherlands in a World Cup qualifier.
