BERLIN, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Andreas Rettig, a long-time sports director at Bundesliga clubs, took over as the German Football Association's (DFB) executive director on Friday, succeeding Oliver Bierhoff, who resigned after their shock first round World Cup exit last year. Four-time world champions Germany, who will host Euro 2024 next year, have been going through their worst run in decades. Bierhoff had resigned in December, days after Germany's second consecutive World Cup group stage exit. "(The national teams) are shaped by great successes and currently problems. Germany sacked Flick following their 4-1 home loss to Japan last week, with former national team coach and current DFB official Rudi Voeller taking over for the game against France.

DOHA, Dec 6 (Reuters) - 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. Former Germany international Bierhoff, who had been in his post as team director for the last 18 years, was widely criticised following their second consecutive shock early exit at a World Cup. 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. "He will always be linked with the World Cup success in Brazil," he added. The Germans had also tumbled out of the 2018 World Cup at the same stage - at the time their earliest exit in 80 years.

DOHA, Nov 21 (Reuters) - Germany go into their World Cup Group E opener against Japan on Wednesday knowing that this one game could potentially make or break their tournament hopes. With 2010 world champions Spain awaiting next, the Germans cannot afford any slip-up against the Japanese and risk a potential early exit again. The four-times champions have arrived in Qatar a new team since their 2018 World Cup first round shock elimination. "We have to be prepared for a tough battle against Japan," said team director Oliver Bierhoff this week. Japan will no doubt have also seen Germany's weakness in defence and their vulnerability against quick counter-attacks.
