Jürgen Klopp is Germany’s new head coach, taking over after Julian Nagelsmann stepped down in the wake of the national team’s World Cup elimination. His contract is set to run through the 2030 World Cup.

The appointment gives Germany a high-profile reset after a third straight World Cup campaign ended in disappointment. The latest exit came against Paraguay in the round of 32, following group-stage failures in 2018 and 2022.

Klopp has not held a managerial post since leaving Liverpool in 2024. Since then, he has worked in a wider football role with Red Bull and appeared as a World Cup analyst for Magenta TV.

His first stretch in charge could be demanding, with Nations League fixtures against the Netherlands, Greece and Serbia listed for late September and early October. For editors, the key storyline is whether Klopp’s club-level intensity can translate quickly to the different rhythm of international football.
