Former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager Jürgen Klopp has agreed to become the new head coach of the German Football Association following Germany’s disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday that Klopp has accepted the role, with discussions continuing over the details of a long-term contract and his departure from the Red Bull football group, where he currently serves as Head of Global Soccer.
The appointment comes after the DFB parted ways with Julian Nagelsmann in the wake of Germany’s Round of 32 elimination at the World Cup.
According to the report, the DFB has identified the 59-year-old Klopp as the leading figure to spearhead a major rebuilding project aimed at restoring Germany’s status among world football’s elite. Red Bull had reportedly considered Oliver Glasner as Klopp’s replacement, but the Austrian is instead set to join Nottingham Forest F.C.
Klopp’s expected appointment marks a return to coaching after stepping away from club management. He is expected to lead Germany into a new era, with preparations already shifting toward the UEFA Euro 2028.
