"After 131 national team games and 45 goals, I am saying goodbye," Mueller said in a video statement announcing his decision.
"It's sad that I'll probably never be a part of a home Euros in my career again," the coach said. "That hurts. And having to wait two years to become world champions, that hurts as well."
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann lamented the decision to deny his side a late penalty in Friday's 2-1 Euro 2024 loss to Spain, saying "the referee blew in favour of Spain a little".
Retiring Germany midfielder Toni Kroos said he was optimistic for the team's future despite their "bitter" Euro 2024 exit after a 2-1 quarterfinal loss to Spain in extra time on Friday.
Kroos, who won the Champions League with Real Madrid last month and will hang up his boots after the Euros, came out of international retirement this year to chase the one major trophy missing from a vast haul that also includes the 2014 World Cup.
If enough people despair of emancipatory politics and accept the withdrawal into buffoonery, the political space for neo-fascism widens.
Germany captain Ilkay Gundogan lauded forward Jamal Musiala after Wednesday's 2-0 win over Hungary, calling him "incredible" and "a joy to play with".
Cristiano Ronaldo had the most attempts on target and hosts Germany made best use of their chances in the first round of pool matches at the European Championship, while a forward from Romania has been the quickest across the grass so far.
The 38-year-old said he "could not yet reveal" whether this would be his last dance in Germany colours, adding "I'll turn my mind to it after the tournament."
