The German Football Association (DFB) has officially appointed Jürgen Klopp as the new head coach of the Germany national team on a contract that will run until after the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
Klopp, who earned widespread acclaim during his successful spells with Borussia Dortmund and later Liverpool, returns to coaching after leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season and serving as Red Bull's Global Head of Soccer.
He has now been entrusted with the task of restoring Germany to its former status following a difficult period in major international tournaments.
The 59-year-old succeeds Julian Nagelsmann, who departed after Germany's disappointing campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Klopp is expected to officially begin his duties in mid-August, with his first match set to come against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League in September.
Speaking after his unveiling, Klopp described it as a great honor to lead his country's national team, adding that he believes Germany has enough talent to return to the highest level of international competition.
During his managerial career, Klopp has coached Mainz 05, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool, where he won major trophies including the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup. Those achievements have established him as one of the most respected managers in world football.
