New York [US], July 11 (ANI): Jurgen Klopp is reportedly on the verge of becoming Germany’s next head coach after reaching an agreement in principle with the German Football Association (DFB).
According to reports from Germany as per Sky Sports, a breakthrough was reached during talks in New York on Friday, with Klopp expected to sign a contract that will run until the end of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Only the final formalities are believed to remain before the deal is completed.
Klopp’s departure from his role at Red Bull is expected to be finalised with the company’s CEO, Oliver Mintzlaff, during their meeting in New York by early next week.
The DFB are reportedly planning to officially announce the agreement on Saturday.
The former Liverpool manager currently serves as Red Bull Group’s head of global soccer, but his contract includes a special release clause allowing him to take charge of the Germany national team.
It is Klopp’s first coaching job since leaving Liverpool in 2024. Nagelsmann stepped down from the role as head coach after Germany’s shocking World Cup last-32 exit against Paraguay.
The 38-year-old took charge of Germany in September 2023 and guided the nation to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, where they were beaten by eventual winners Spain. (ANI)
