BILD Sport reports that former German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann (38) has been spotted vacationing with his wife Lena (33) in Mallorca, Spain, following Germany's disastrous Round of 32 exit at the 2026 World Cup against Paraguay. The German team lost 3-4 on penalties, leading to Nagelsmann's resignation after initial reluctance. The DFB, through President Bernd Neuendorf, thanked Nagelsmann for his work since September 2023, praising his commitment and honesty. Talks are reportedly underway with Jürgen Klopp (59) to succeed him. The couple was seen strolling along the promenade of Puerto Portals harbor on Saturday evening.

Julian Nagelsmann (38) has been spotted vacationing with his wife Lena (33) on Mallorca, following Germany's disastrous World Cup exit and his resignation as national coach.

The couple was seen strolling along the promenade of Puerto Portals harbor on Saturday evening.

World Cup Exit and Resignation

The German national team was eliminated from the tournament after an embarrassing 3–4 penalty shootout loss against Paraguay in the Round of 32. Nagelsmann subsequently resigned from his position.

Talks are currently underway with Jürgen Klopp (59), who is expected to become his successor.

Following the final whistle of the Paraguay match, Nagelsmann initially refused to resign, stating: "I am certainly not someone who runs away." However, the turnaround came after gentle pressure.
