The German national team surprised many in last year's EuroBasket 2022 by capturing bronze. The coach that led the team to the achievement will continue working in the future.

The German Basketball Federation (DBB) announced that head coach Gordon Herbert will remain in his position until EuroBasket 2025.

"Gordie is an outstanding coach. I really like how he treats the players, the staff, and his entire job. He is also a very pleasant guy, calm but determined, and has clear ideas. It is, therefore, only logical to work with him on a long-term basis," said Armin Andres, Vice President of DBB.

"With this early contract extension, we want to send a clear signal. We are convinced of Gordie's work and - regardless of the result at this year's World Cup - express our full confidence in him. He is exactly the right head coach for our ambitious team. I'm looking forward to the coming time with him," said DBB President Ingo Weiss.

Herbert has been the head coach of the German national team since 2021.
