In the 1984 European Championship, West Germany, managed by Jupp Derwall, entered the tournament as the reigning champions but endured a disappointing campaign. Drawn in a tough group with Spain, Portugal, and Romania, they struggled to find form. After drawing with Portugal and Romania, and then losing 1–0 to Spain in the decisive match, West Germany finished third in the group and were eliminated in the first round. The early exit marked the end of Derwall’s tenure, paving the way for Franz Beckenbauer to take over as national team manager.
