Jürgen Klopp is set to become the new head coach of Germany's national football team after reaching an agreement in principle with the German Football Association (DFB). The former Liverpool manager met with senior DFB officials in New York on Friday, where they agreed on the key points of a potential contract. The deal, which is expected to be finalized next week, will see Klopp take the helm until the 2030 World Cup.

The DFB confirmed in a statement that president Bernd Neuendorf and vice-president Hans-Joachim Watzke held "constructive talks" with Klopp and his long-time advisor Marc Kosicke. "During the constructive exchange, an agreement was reached on the key points of a potential contract," the statement read. "Both sides are confident that the negotiations - subject to an agreement with Klopp's current employer, Red Bull - can ultimately be successfully concluded."

Klopp, 59, has been the top candidate to replace Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned following Germany's early exit from the 2026 World Cup. The team was eliminated in the last 32 by Paraguay on penalties, continuing a run of disappointing performances at major tournaments. Nagelsmann's departure was announced shortly after the tournament, and the DFB quickly turned to Klopp as his successor.

The main hurdle remaining is Klopp's current contract with Red Bull, where he has served as Head of Global Soccer since January 2025. His contract with the energy drink company runs until 2029, and while Red Bull is expected to agree to his departure, the details of his release are yet to be finalized. According to German media reports, Klopp may continue to serve as a brand ambassador for Red Bull even after taking on the Germany job.

Klopp's appointment would mark his first foray into international management. He is one of the most successful and respected coaches in world football, having led Liverpool to seven major honors, including the Premier League title in 2020 and the Champions League in 2019. Prior to his time at Liverpool, Klopp managed Borussia Dortmund, where he won two Bundesliga titles, and Mainz 05.

The DFB is expected to offer Klopp a salary slightly higher than the 7 million euros per year earned by his predecessor, Nagelsmann. The contract is likely to run until after the 2030 World Cup, giving Klopp four years to rebuild the German team and restore its status as a football powerhouse.

Reaction to Klopp's potential appointment has been largely positive. Former Germany defender Jürgen Kohler, who won the World Cup in 1990, described Klopp as the right choice but cautioned that he cannot perform miracles. "Klopp is a fantastic coach, but he can't solve all the problems in German football overnight," Kohler said.

Klopp himself has been working as a pundit for German television during the World Cup. His outspoken nature and passion for the game have made him a popular figure among fans and media alike. During the tournament, he was critical of Nagelsmann's team selection, suggesting that the coach should have started with Deniz Undav instead of Jamal Musiala in one of the matches.

The DFB is expected to hold a joint meeting of its supervisory board and shareholders' assembly to finalize the contract in the coming days. If all goes as planned, Klopp could be officially announced as the new Germany coach as early as next week.

With Klopp at the helm, Germany will be looking to bounce back from their recent disappointments and reclaim their place among the elite of international football. His track record of success at both the club and international level makes him an ideal candidate to lead the team into a new era.
