Jürgen Klopp has reportedly agreed to take over as the head coach of the German national team, according to Sky Sport Germany. The agreement is said to be finalized and will extend until the 2030 World Cup, marking a significant return to coaching for the former Liverpool manager.

Klopp will succeed Julian Nagelsmann, who is departing after a disappointing performance by the team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The appointment signals a new era for German football, with the DFB aiming to rebuild and restore the team's former glory under the guidance of one of the world's most respected managers.

A key part of the agreement involves an "agreement in principle" between the DFB and Red Bull regarding Klopp's release from any prior commitments, though specific details of this arrangement have not been disclosed. Klopp's return to management comes two years after he stepped down from his highly successful tenure at Liverpool.

Klopp's immediate task will be to prepare the German squad for the upcoming Nations League campaign. Germany has been drawn into a group that includes Greece, setting the stage for an early encounter between Klopp's new team and the Greek national side.
