The German Football Association (DFB) has officially appointed Juergen Klopp as the new head coach of the men’s national football team. The former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager signed a four-year contract, succeeding Julian Nagelsmann, who departed the role following the team's disappointing performance in the latest World Cup tournament.

Klopp, who most recently served as the global head of soccer at Red Bull, will be supported by a coaching staff including Peter Krawietz, Pep Lijnders, and former international player Sven Bender. Additionally, the DFB has brought in 2014 World Cup winner Per Mertesacker as part of the organizational overhaul. In his official statement, Klopp emphasized his commitment to rebuilding the national team, aiming to foster unity and develop a squad that resonates with the German public through humility and patient growth.

The appointment marks a significant turning point for the four-time world champions as they undergo a rebuilding phase. The DFB confirmed the contract details on Friday, July 24, 2026, officially initiating the transition as the federation looks to restore its competitive standing on the global stage.
