DORTMUND, Germany (Reuters) -Germany's national team director Rudi Voeller said on Monday he will not be a candidate to succeed sacked coach Hansi Flick despite taking over for Tuesday's friendly against France.

Voeller, Germany's former World Cup-winning player who also coached the national team from 2000-2004, said he had stepped in for one match to help the side until a new coach is found.
