Overview

  • Klopp was presented by the German Football Federation in Frankfurt on Friday, July 24, 2026, and signed a contract running to the 2030 World Cup.
  • The coaching change follows Germany's knockout loss to Paraguay at the World Cup and Julian Nagelsmann's subsequent resignation, which he said was meant to allow a 'new beginning' for the team.
  • Klopp, 59, returns to frontline coaching after serving as Red Bull's global football director and after celebrated club spells at Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool where he won the Premier League and Champions League.
  • He told the DFB press conference he has already watched 57 outfield players and will prioritize direct contact and observation of eligible players across the countries where they play.
  • The DFB framed the hire as a long-term reset aimed at improving a squad it considers good but improvable, and the move could reshape selection and tactics ahead of the 2028–2030 qualifying cycle.
