Participate in the World Cup? 👀Mueller’s social media preview will announce big news, with a summer 2026 tag

Muller updated a post on social media today and wrote: The big news is about to be announced, with the hashtag #2026summer#, which has aroused fans' endless imagination. Some fans speculated on Muller's social media that he may participate in the 2026 World Cup as a member of the coaching staff.

At Nagelsmann's press conference on the national team's match day, he was asked about Muller's role as an assistant coach for the German team. Nagelsmann said: "I have talked with him several times, and he is doing well in Vancouver now. He played well and scored a lot of goals. A lot of goals and a lot of assists. He is driving football there and wants to continue that momentum after the World Cup.

"That's why I said he won't be an assistant coach to me or any other coach this summer. "

Nevertheless, Nagelsmann did not rule out the possibility of Muller serving as coach in the future: "Things that have not happened now may also be realized in the future. He has what it takes to be a head coach and assistant coach. "

Talking about the possibility of Muller serving as assistant coach in the 2026 World Cup, Nagelsmann said: "Thomas is definitely a candidate who is qualified for this position. His contract in Vancouver runs until the winter of 2026. As far as I know, they will resume training around June 26, 2026. I think if Thomas said, 'I'm going to come back two or three weeks later because I still want to be an assistant coach,' the head coach wouldn't be too happy. "
