Accordingly, the former national player and ARD expert has already agreed to the association. As has been requested for a long time, the women’s national team would have its own person in charge, like Rudi Völler for the men. The DFB did not confirm the personnel. “No decision has been made yet,” it said when asked.
Künzer’s area of responsibility would primarily include the management of the women’s national team and the young female talent. In addition, the first thing she would have to do is clarify the successor for interim national coach Horst Hrubesch (72), who will look after the national team until next summer at the most.
Künzer celebrated her greatest success as a player in 2003. In the World Cup final in Carson (USA), she headed the golden goal against Sweden to make it 2-1. With 1. FFC Frankfurt, the defender also won the German championship and the DFB Cup seven times. She won the European Cup three times with the Hessians.
