  • Germany's football federation proposed that coach Julian Nagelsmann resign after the team's World Cup failure.
  • Nagelsmann, who has a contract until 2028, requested time to consider the offer following a meeting with DFB officials.
  • Jรผrgen Klopp is the public's top choice to succeed Nagelsmann, according to reports.

The German Football Federation (DFB) has proposed that national team coach Julian Nagelsmann step down following the team's disappointing performance at the World Cup, where they were eliminated in the round of 16.

Following a three-hour meeting with DFB leadership in Frankfurt, the 38-year-old Nagelsmann, whose contract extends to 2028, asked for time to consider the offer. Reports suggest he will be former coach by the end of the week, with DFB President Bernd Neuendorf reportedly signaling the change internally.

While no official statement has been released, speculation about Nagelsmann's successor is already rampant. Former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool manager Jรผrgen Klopp is the leading candidate favored by the German public. Bild reported that key DFB figures, including Neuendorf, sporting director Rudi Vรถller, league head Hans-Joachim Watzke, and general director Andreas Rettig, were present at the meeting. Nagelsmann himself had previously ruled out immediate resignation after the World Cup exit.
