Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become Germany’s new head coach following Julian Nagelsmann’s resignation in the aftermath of the country’s disappointing exit from the FIFA World Cup.
Germany began the tournament with renewed optimism but saw their campaign end in the round of 32 after a penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay.
Nagelsmann stepped down from his role just days later, accepting responsibility for another disappointing tournament as Germany’s long wait for World Cup success continued.
The German Football Association quickly identified Klopp as its leading candidate to oversee a major rebuild.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano disclosed that Klopp has accepted the offer and will become Germany’s next manager.
While the finer details of his contract and his departure from Red Bull are still being finalised, the agreement is understood to be in place.
Klopp has also confirmed he is in negotiations with the German Football Association.
The 59-year-old revealed he had been approached following Nagelsmann’s resignation and admitted he is ready to return to coaching after stepping away from club management two years ago.
“Since then I’m more than recharged,” Klopp said. “I’m ready.”
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of the 2023-24 season after transforming the club into Premier League and Champions League winners during a hugely successful nine-year spell at Anfield.
