The reigning world champions deserve to be clear favourites to win Euro 2016, the former Bayern Munich boss has told Omnnisport
Ottmar Hitzfeld has hailed Germany as "absolute favourites" to win Euro 2016.
Joachim Low's side, looking to add the continental crown to their 2014 World Cup triumph, are highly fancied to come out on top in France.
And former Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich coach Hitzfeld, who retired after leading Switzerland to the round of 16 in Brazil two years ago, has no doubts over Die Mannschaft's credentials.
"Germany will be the absolute favourites to win Euro 2016 as world champion," he told Omnisport.
