Völler bids for the 2014 world championship: What are the stars doing today?

Rüdi Völler, the sports director of the German Football Association (DFB), is seeking involvement from members of Germany’s 2014 World Cup-winning team in reshaping the organization after a disappointing World Cup exit. He has specifically mentioned players like Per Mertesacker, Mats Hummels, Thomas Müller, and Bastian Schweinsteiger as potential candidates for leadership roles within the DFB. Mertesacker, currently working as a TV expert for ZDF, has expressed interest in contributing to the DFB in the future. Schweinsteiger, who works as an ARD commentator, has also shown openness to taking on responsibilities at the DFB. Meanwhile, Hummels, who recently transitioned from active play to commentary work, is also being considered.
