Jurgen Klopp will be Germany's new coach, says journalist

Jürgen Klopp, the former Liverpool coach, is close to taking charge of the Germany national team. The information was released by journalist Fabrizio Romano, specialist in the transfer market, this Sunday (5).

Klopp will replace Julian Nagelsmann, who stepped down on Friday (3), days after Germany's elimination from the World Cup. The four-time world champion exited the competition in the round of 16 stage after losing to Paraguay in a penalty shootout.

The German Football Federation (DFB) had already confirmed its interest in the coach. In an official statement about Nagelsmann's departure, the organization reported the start of talks with Klopp for the position.

"Regarding the choice of the new coach, the DFB management will begin conversations with Jürgen Klopp, who has already signaled, in general, that he is willing to take command of the national team", said an excerpt from the DFB note.

At 59 years old, Jürgen Klopp has a successful history in football. He made history in charge of Liverpool, between 2015 and 2024, and, previously, at Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05, clubs in Germany.

Since leaving the English club, the coach has been working in a management role at the Red Bull Group, a company linked to football clubs such as RB Leipzig and Red Bull Salzburg.
