2026 World Cup: Klopp confirms next managerial job

Former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, has confirmed he would be confirmed as the new head coach of Germany “in the next few days”.

Klopp is set to replace Julian Nagelsmann who was in charge for the 2026 World Cup.

Nagelsmann has already left the role following a poor outing at the tournament.

Germany’s loss on penalties to Paraguay marked the third straight early World Cup exit for the four-time champions, after group stage eliminations in Russia and Qatar.

“We’re not that far away from being able to make announcement,” Klopp told Magenta TV about the Germany job.

“Ideally, in the next few days.”

The 59-year-old as worked as Red Bull’s Sporting Director since he left Liverpool in the summer of 2024.
