Overview
- Germany officially named Jürgen Klopp as national coach on Friday with a contract through 2030 and he vowed to focus fully on the Mannschaft.
- The DFB confirmed Klopp was released from his Red Bull role without a transfer fee in return for a reported €1 million donation to the Wings for Life foundation.
- The French Football Federation has scheduled an exceptional executive committee and a press conference for Tuesday 28 July at 11:00 to present the next France manager.
- French media widely report Zinédine Zidane as the overwhelming favorite to succeed Didier Deschamps and say he would sign a four-year deal to 2030 and bring close aides and a largely renewed staff, but the FFF has not yet confirmed those details.
- The moves form part of a wider post-World Cup turnover that has federations across Europe reshuffling coaches to reset tactics, staff structures, and talent pathways ahead of Euro 2028 and the 2030 World Cup.
