Former Germany captain Lothar Matthaus has criticised Joachim Low's management of the national team and called for Marc-Andre Ter Stegen to replace long-time No.1 Manuel Neuer.
He said : "For about 40 years I have been experiencing more or less closely the events of the German national team. And I cannot remember that a change, a cut, a new start ever took place before a qualifier or tournament. This always happens after an event.
"I see bankruptcies, bad luck and mishaps and they started, even before the World Cup. The catastrophic handling of the personality Mesut Ozil. The non-nomination of Leroy Sane.
"And after the embarrassing departure in the preliminary round, no consequences were drawn. Everyone - even the players - would have understood if they had been gracefully moved on right after the tournament.
"Low missed that chance and, out of loyalty, gave most of them a second chance in the Nations League. As you know, this was not used."
