Jürgen Klopp appears poised to take over as Germany's head coach following Julian Nagelsmann's confirmed departure, with the German FA (DFB) announcing that talks have begun and Klopp has shown a "willingness" in principle to accept the role. The move ends years of speculation about the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool manager taking charge of the national team, a partnership that has been anticipated since at least October 2024, when reports emerged that his Red Bull contract included a clause allowing him to become Germany coach.
