His appointment follows the departure of Julian Nagelsmann, who stepped down after Germany's disappointing elimination in the round of 16 of the World Cup held in the United States, Mexico, and Canada.
Klopp brings a wealth of experience and success from his club management career, having achieved significant accolades with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.
