Jürgen Klopp appointed as the new head coach of the German national football team

Jürgen Klopp has reached an agreement to become the new head coach of the German national football team, succeeding Julian Nagelsmann following the team's exit from the 2026 World Cup. The 59-year-old manager is set to sign his contract on July 24, 2026, in Berlin. This appointment marks his return to coaching two years after his departure from Liverpool. As part of the transition, Klopp has negotiated an exit from his current role as the head of global soccer at Red Bull. Both parties have confirmed an agreement in principle regarding his release from the organization. Klopp's contract is expected to run through the 2030 World Cup, with his tenure including the 2028 European Championship. He plans to formalize the agreement with the German Football Association (DFB) shortly.
