Germany failed to advance past the group stage of the World Cup for the third consecutive time. Hummels called for the dismissal of national team coach Nagelsmann, acknowledging his personal feelings about the matter.

Hummels clearly stated his support for a change in the national team coach after Germany's World Cup elimination. He said: "If you look at the facts overall, I would say that the coaching position needs to be changed."

Hummels emphasized that his past personal grievances with Nagelsmann pushed him "in an emotional direction." The defender, who was playing for Borussia Dortmund at the time, was not called up by Nagelsmann for the 2024 home European Championship. He said: "The matter wasn't handled fairly and honestly with me. I think we need to sort it out in a quick personal conversation sooner or later." However, this has not happened so far.

Hummels also criticized the reluctance of German players to voluntarily take penalties in the penalty shootout. Defender Tah, as the sixth penalty taker, had to take his first penalty kick in his career. Hummels said: "Because no one else was willing to take it, which means a lot. Honestly, I felt a bit sorry about it."

This may also be part of what needs to be reflected upon after this disaster, because in this four-time World Cup winner, experts, fans, and the top officials of the German Football Association must acknowledge – Germany lacks sufficient world-class players and has too many "fake superstars."

Hummels stated: "We have shortcomings at various levels. There is a lack of top individual ability in most positions, and we only have this ability in very few individual positions."
