Klopp appointed Germany head coach on a contract through the 2030 World Cup after Nagelsmann’s resignation following another World Cup exit. He warned the media he will walk away if his family’s privacy is invaded, stressing privacy and respect are non-negotiable. Returning to management for the first time since leaving Liverpool in 2024, he says he will give everything to rebuild Germany amid high expectations. The federation confirmed he was the preferred candidate and his first match is in September in the Nations League against the Netherlands. Klopp said there will be no career after the national team for him, underscoring the job’s significance and his commitment. He will be supported by assistants Peter Krawietz and Pepijn Lijnders, with Sven Bender on the staff and Per Mertesacker named managing director for sport as part of a leadership reshuffle.
