Bayern Munich's departing manager Hansi Flick will succeed Joachim Low as Germany boss after this summer's European Championship.
Low is leaving the role following the delayed Euro 2020, having been in the post since 2006.
Flick has signed a contract to be Germany manager until 2024.
"I am hugely excited, because I see the class of players, and especially young players, which we have in Germany," said the 56-year-old.
Germany national team director Oliver Bierhoff said: "He was top of my wish list from the very start."
Flick announced in April that he was leaving Bayern at the end of the season and will be replaced by RB Leipzig boss Julian Nagelsmann.
Flick was Low's assistant with Germany from 2006 to 2014, stepping down after they won the World Cup in Brazil.
