However, Klopp and the German Football Association must first reach an agreement with Red Bull, where he currently serves as head of football operations.

Klopp has won 13 major trophies during his coaching career. His greatest successes came with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool FC. He has never previously managed a national team.

On July 3, Julian Nagelsmann officially stepped down as Germany’s head coach following the team’s early exit from the World Cup. Germany was eliminated by Paraguay national football team in the Round of 32.
