I know a lot of people will want me to leave but I would love to continue if the football association wants me to."He added: “They (the German FA) have talked to me gently, they comforted me, they’re not going to offer me an extension of my contract two minutes after I lost this match. They are not going to talk just after the defeat.“If we did a survey today in Germany people would not speak positively about me today.

But in football you win some and you lose some, it’s always been that way, we haven’t really done much in this tournament to make people celebrate, but I have a lot of confidence that we could have done a better job.Julian Nagelsmann watched on as his Germany side lost to Paraguay on penalties(Image: VCG via Getty Images)“But I don’t think that everyone in Germany will agree with me staying on as manager of the Mannschaft.
