BERLIN (Reuters) - The German Football Association (DFB) said on Wednesday that national team director Rudi Voeller will remain in his role until Euro 2028 after signing a contract extension.

A former World Cup winner as a player who also coached Germany from 2000-2004, Voeller took the position in 2023 and was also interim manager for one game following the departure of Hansi Flick in September that year.
