Overview
- Germany’s coach Julian Nagelsmann resigned after the World Cup exit, and reports say Jürgen Klopp has accepted the DFB’s offer to become head coach with a long-term deal still to be signed.
- DFB leaders are preparing to grant Klopp broad authority over the senior team and youth development so he can reshape playing style, tactics and talent pathways.
- Klopp has confirmed talks are under way and is expected to want key trusted assistants such as Peter Krawietz, with Pepijn Lijnders and Zsolt Löw also mentioned as candidates.
- Klopp is under contract to Red Bull but several outlets report his deal contains an exit clause for the Germany job and that both sides are negotiating the timing and terms of his departure.
- If completed, the appointment would set a new direction for German football ahead of Nations League fixtures and the build toward Euro 2028 and could change selection and development decisions for players and coaches.
