Jurgen Klopp returns to management, named Germany head coach until 2030

Germany have appointed Jurgen Klopp as the new head coach of the national team.
The formerLiverpool manager has signed a contract that will run until the 2030 World Cup, and has replaced Julian Nagelsmann in the role.
Nagelsmann departed his position after Germany's disappointing exit at the 2026 World Cup. The four-time world champions were eliminated by Paraguay on penalties in the last-32. Germany have failed to win a knockout stage game at theWorld Cup since winning the 2014 final.
Klopp returns to management for the first time since leaving Liverpool in 2024. The 59-year-old won eight trophies during his nine-and-a-half year spell at Anfield, including the Premier League and Champions League.
He had been working as Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull group since January 2025. The DFB did not have to pay compensation to Red Bull to appoint Klopp due to a get-out clause in his contract for the role.
Sky Germany are reporting Klopp will look to reunite with Pep Lijnders and Peter Krawietz as part of his coaching set-up, having worked closely with the pair throughout his tenure at Liverpool.
