VfB star Angelo Stiller: Debut in the DFB team before National League fight!
Stuttgart, Deutschland - On May 22, 2025, national coach Julian Nagelsmann will announce the DFB squad for the upcoming final Four of the Nations League. An exciting element of this nomination is the possibility that a player from VfB Stuttgart, Angelo Stiller, could celebrate his debut in the DFB team. The young player shows impressive achievements in the Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart, under the direction of coach Sebastian Hoeneß, ended the current Bundesliga season in ninth place and qualified for the DFB Cup final against Arminia Bielefeld.
Nagelsmann has already made some changes in the squad because Aleksandar Pavlovic from FC Bayern Munich and Alexander Nübel from VfB Stuttgart are back in the team. With this nomination, Nagelsmann wants to bring a breath of fresh air to the team and at the same time react to injury -related failures. Niklas Süle from Borussia Dortmund and Serge Gnabry as well as Leroy Sané, who had to undergo a groin surgery, are missing. Another important departure is Antonio Rüdiger from Real Madrid, who is not in the squad for regeneration.
The new squad of the national team
For the first games of the Nations League against Hungary on September 7th in Düsseldorf and against the Netherlands on September 10th in Amsterdam, Nagelsmann appointed 23 players. Here is an overview of the selection:
| position | player |

| gate | Oliver Baumann, Alexander Nübel, Marc-André ter Stegen |
| defense | Waldemar Anton, Benjamin Henrichs, Joshua Kimmich, Robin Koch, Maximilian Mittelstädt, David Raum, Nico Schlotterbeck, Jonathan Tah |
| midfield | Robert Andrich, Emre Can, Chris Leading, Pascal Groß, Jamal Musiala, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Angelo Stiller, Florian Wirtz |
| attack | Maximilian Beier, Niclas Füllkrug, Kai Havertz, Deniz undav |
The Nations League 2024/25 is also played with a new mode that includes a quarter-finals and enables the teams to secure a place in the playoffs for the World Cup qualification. The draw of qualification groups is planned for the end of the year.
A look into the future
In view of the changes in the squad, many observers are excited about the development of the DFB team. The successor of experienced players such as Manuel Neuer, Ilkay Gündogan, Thomas Müller and Toni Kroos is up for discussion. Joshua Kimmich is traded as a favorite for the captain's role, while Jonathan Tah, Antonio Rüdiger and Niclas Füllkrug are also mentioned as possible successors. Gündogan has already explained his resignation from the national team, which underlines the need to redesign the team. The goalkeeper position is also hotly debated, with Marc-André Ter Stegen and Alexander Nübel being in the race.For current information on the national team players and the DFB selection, visit the pages of tz.de, Sportschau.de and kicker.de .
