Satisfaction with Rudi Völler's appointment as director of the senior men's national soccer team

The dataset documents how soccer-interested respondents in Germany assessed the DFB's decision to appoint Rudi Völler as director of the senior men's national team following Oliver Bierhoff's departure. The survey was conducted in January 2023 and captures satisfaction levels across four response categories.

Among soccer-interested respondents, positive assessments dominate clearly. The share expressing "rather satisfied" stands at 48%, the largest single response category. Combined with the 28% who are "very satisfied", the approving share reaches 76% in total. Negative assessments remain at a low level: 9% report being "rather not satisfied" and 4% "not at all satisfied", placing the combined rejecting share at 13%. 11% indicate they don't know, the smallest non-evaluative segment recorded. The gap between the top two positive categories — 48% versus 28% — points to a clear tilt toward moderate rather than strong approval.
