Jurgen Klopp Agrees to Coach German National Team
Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become Germany's next head coach following Julian Nagelsmann's resignation after the team's early exit from the 2026 World Cup.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that Jurgen Klopp has decided to accept the position of head coach for the German national team. Germany's shocking elimination in the 32-team round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup prompted coach Julian Nagelsmann to resign and assume responsibility for the disappointing result. Klopp, the former Liverpool manager and current head of football operations for the Red Bull group, quickly emerged as the top candidate for the job. He acknowledged receiving contact from the German Football Association (DFB). According to the latest reports, the 59-year-old Klopp has decided to take the helm to restore the honor of the German national team with a long-term contract. The only remaining step is to finalize his transition arrangements with the Red Bull group regarding his current responsibilities. Oliver Glasner is expected to potentially replace Klopp at Red Bull.
