DFB president Bernd Neuendorf said in a statement: “Oliver Bierhoff has been of incredible service to the DFB.
“Even though we have fallen short of expectations on the pitch in recent tournaments, he has been behind big moments.
“His work will forever be intertwined with our World Cup triumph in Brazil. Even in turbulent times, he always followed his goals and visions and has helped shape the DFB in a sustainable manner.”
