Klopp named Germany head coach following Nagelsmann exit
Jurgen Klopp has been appointed as the new head coach of Germany’s men’s national football team, the German Football Association (DFB) announced on Friday.
The former Liverpool manager takes over from Julian Nagelsmann, who stepped down after Germany’s disappointing FIFA World Cup campaign.
Speaking at a press conference in Frankfurt, DFB President Bernd Neuendorf expressed confidence in Klopp’s appointment.
“We’re very happy to present Jurgen Klopp today as the new coach,” Neuendorf said.
He disclosed that Klopp has signed a contract that will keep him in charge until the summer of 2030, covering the next FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted by Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
According to Neuendorf, Klopp’s tenure with the national team will officially begin on August 15.
Klopp, 59, had spoken publicly of his desire to take on the role after Nagelsmann left earlier in July.
Germany crashed out of this summer’s World Cup after losing to Paraguay on penalties in the round of 32.
It was the third successive World Cup failure for the Germans since winning their fourth title in 2014.
Germany failed to make it past the group stage in both 2018 and 2022. They have won just one knockout match at the past five major tournaments, reaching the quarter-finals as hosts at Euro 2024.
Klopp had successful coaching tenures at German clubs Mainz — where he was a player for more than a decade — and Borussia Dortmund before turning round the fortunes of English giants Liverpool.
