Augenthaler: Germany's flexibility make them dangerous at Euro 2016

A World Cup winner from 1990, the former Leverkusen and Wolfsburg coach feels his nation's ability to change tactics makes them a strong contender for glory in France

Klaus Augenthaler believes it is tough to pick a favourite for Euro 2016 – but admits Germany's adaptability always makes them competitive at a major tournament.

While he never lifted the Henri Delaunay Trophy in his international career, Augenthaler was part of the West Germany squad that triumphed at the 1990 World Cup.

Joachim Low's Germany were also crowned world champions in Brazil two years ago. Just like their counterparts 24 years earlier, they recorded a 1-0 win over Argentina in the final.
