DFB Pulse
A fan companion app for German football supporters following the national team coaching search, with side-by-side candidate profiles, fan sentiment tracking, and a prediction market on who Nagelsmann's successor will be.
German football fans closely following the DFB coaching search
- Candidate dossiers on Klopp, van Gaal, and any other rumored name with playing style, win record, age, contract situation, and a 'fit score' against the current DFB squad
- Live fan-sentiment tracker that pulls from ARD, Sportbild, Twitter, and BVB forums and visualizes support for each candidate over time so you can see the room shift after each bad result
- Prediction market where users stake virtual coins on the next Bundestrainer and earn them back if correct, surfacing real crowd wisdom on who actually gets it
- Push alerts when any major German football personality publicly backs or rules out a candidate, with the source quote preserved
20,000+ German searches on the coaching search in a single day shows an unusually engaged, opinionated audience; an app that gives that audience a place to argue, track, and bet on the outcome taps directly into the conversation that's already happening.
