Jurgen Klopp named Germany coach on deal until 2030 FIFA World Cup

Germany have appointed former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp as their new head coach, with the 59-year-old signing a contract that will keep him in charge until the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Klopp succeeds Julian Nagelsmann following Germany's disappointing exit from the 2026 World Cup.

The German Football Association (DFB) turned to Klopp immediately after Nagelsmann stepped down, entrusting one of the country's most successful modern managers with reviving a national side that has failed to progress beyond the Round of 16 in each of the last three World Cups.

Speaking after his



unveiling on Friday, Klopp said leading the national team carries a unique significance and expressed his excitement about taking on the role.

"The national team brings us Germans together like almost nothing else can. That's what makes this task so special for me," Klopp said.

The appointment marks Klopp's first coaching role since leaving Liverpool in 2024. Having initially stepped away from management because of fatigue, the German said he now feels refreshed and ready for the challenge after spending the past year and a half as Red Bull's head of global soccer.
