Hansi Flick

That's true. Most European teams lack that, related to diversity or not. Notable exceptions would be Croatia (probably behind most of our recent successes) and France.
There is surely a reason second generation immigrant players don't burn for Germany the same as native generations did. But I think the bigger reason is the current femboy tiktok generation Germany has like Havertz, Wirtz, Musiala, Woltemade, Sane and more. They care more about their Social Media likes than anything else, creating content with their barbie gfs for <90 iq morons. German media reported, they played hide-and-seek in the hotel.
They get their asses kissed for playing in big clubs and counting likes in their free time. Simply put a weak generation that never learned what it actually means to fight with spirit.

Add to this stubborn and overrated Nagelsmann, who wants to prove everyone he's a genious by letting Havertz play on the left, Kimmich RB again. But in the end he also lacks spine, calling back Neuer for the tournament despite his NT retirement, calling up Rüdiger despite warning him several times he needs to improve his behaviour. Or the story with Undav, one day criticize him, other day start him. That surely builds trust in a player. Sub Woltemade in the end, while not giving him any minutes prior and expect him to save your ass and much more similar things.

These are all small things on their own, but they add up and create that weakass team Germany has today, that can't even beat CONMEBOL's 6th anymore.

Woltemade playing half a season as midfielder means you have an obligation to restart his instincts not play him a few minutes in a deciding game. He created space, had a chance, but it all comes to what you prepare. I don't get his tactics. He did good for Germany prior and was a natural choice for a target man, along a more mobile fast striker. He has no strategy as always then his fans will bail him out, but I think Germany is not that bad or doesn't have resources. Also his irrational behavior I think harms the morale more than the immigrant theory. They are not France or Canada with little to no locals.

Agree. It's not just the losing, it's the manner of losing. It's the total absence of everything German with this current generation of players as you highlighted.

No fighting spirit or will.

No cohesiveness.

No organization and discipline (this is THE quintessential German trait)

This is how you go from the nation that won all 4 of its WCs beating super teams and GOATs (1954 vs. the Magyars, 1974 vs. Total Football Holland, 1990 vs. Maradona, 2014 vs. Messi) to a nation that shits its pants in a PK shootout against Paraguay. Isn't this the 1st time ever that Germany lost a PK shootout in the WC?
 
Does anyone know about his previous work? How does he compare to Julio Tous? I was really hoping for Holger Broich.
 

Depends how you rate his work at those clubs in those periods. I can't profess to know much.

But Tous is staying on but in another role. So it may be a forward move.
 
So, is Julio Tous staying with the team or is he leaving? His CV is far more impressive if you look at his profile on Transfermarkt, and he also played a major role in preparing the squads at Chelsea and Inter.

According to Cadena SER, he'll stay at the club in a different role.


Chatgpt translation:

According to Nil Solà, his new responsibilities will be:
  • overseeing physical development of elite youth players (Juvenil A and Barça Atlètic)
  • helping create a high-performance program
  • working across multiple sporting sections of the club, not just football.

 
Club de amigos. They are basically keeping him in the back until Flick leaves.
Looks more like a promotion to oversee the entire club's psysical state. Pretty sure the new position is higher and better paid than "just" working with the first team.
