2026 World Cup: Klopp’s next managerial job confirmed

The German Football Federation have confirmed they are ready to appoint Jurgen Klopp as the next head coach of the national team.

This follows the departure of Julian Nagelsmann after a poor outing at the 2026 World Cup.

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.

Klopp has now expressed his willingness to replace Nagelsmann in the role.

“The DFB leadership will now seek talks with Jürgen Klopp. He has already signaled his willingness to take on the position,” the Federation confirmed in a statement.

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