Context
Jurgen Klopp, who led Liverpool to many titles, now has the opportunity to reaffirm his position as coach of the German national team. This transfer not only affects Klopp but could also change the entire German football landscape, especially after recent failures.
Why this is important
Jurgen Klopp's agreement to the main points in the contract with the German team marks an important turning point for German football, especially after the disappointing defeat at the World Cup. Klopp, with his experience and success at Liverpool, can bring innovation and effective strategy to the team, positively influencing the upcoming season.
Jurgen Klopp has agreed the "main points" in a contract to take over as head coach of the German team, according to an announcement from the German Football Federation (DFB) on Saturday. Germany is looking for a new coach after Julian Nagelsmann left, which came after the team was surprisingly eliminated in the round of 32 of the World Cup. The four-time world champions lost to Paraguay on penalties after a 1-1 draw, their first defeat in World Cup penalty kicks in five appearances.
Klopp quickly became a bright candidate for this position after he announced that he had "recharged his batteries" and was ready to return to coaching, two years after leaving Liverpool. Since October 2024, Klopp has held the position of Global Football Director at Red Bull, but he has now agreed to take over as national team coach, provided an agreement is reached between the DFB and his current club.
A statement from the DFB said: "DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and DFB Vice-President Hans-Joachim Watzke had their first positive exchanges with Jurgen Klopp yesterday in New York, about the possibility of taking over as head coach of the national team. During this positive exchange, consensus was reached on the main points of a potential contract. Negotiations will continue next week. Both sides are confident that the negotiations – depends on a deal with Klopp's current club, Red Bull - being successfully completed."
In his nearly nine years in charge at Liverpool, Klopp has won eight trophies, including the club's first Champions League title since 2005 and the first national championship since the Premier League was created, in the 2019-20 season. He led Liverpool to play 334 matches in the Premier League, the most in the club's history. Klopp has won 209 games (D78 L47), achieving a 63% win rate – the highest of any Liverpool manager ever – while his teams have scored 714 goals and conceded 331 goals in that period.
Klopp also won two consecutive Bundesliga titles with Borussia Dortmund in 2010-11 and 2011-12 and led them to the 2012-13 Champions League final, where they lost to Bayern Munich. He was linked with Bayern and Real Madrid after leaving Liverpool, but denied those rumours. Once a deal with the DFB is completed, Klopp's first task will be to lead the German team in the 2026-27 Nations League campaign, with opponents the Netherlands, Greece and Serbia in Group A2. He will then focus on the Euro 2028 qualifying campaign, which could bring him back to Liverpool, with matches being held at Everton's Hill Dickinson stadium.
What happens next
Negotiations between DFB and Red Bull will continue next week to finalize the official agreement. If successful, Klopp will begin his work with the German team, which could have a big impact on the team's performance in upcoming international tournaments.
