Germany has hired Jurgen Klopp as its new national team coach for four years. Klopp, former Liverpool manager, will be in charge until 2028. He will officially take over on August 15. "Few people embody passion, authenticity and the ability to inspire others quite like Jurgen Klopp," said DFB President Bernd Neuendorf. "After Julian Nagelsmann stepped down, he was our clear first choice to become Germany head coach, and we did everything we could to bring him in." Klopp, 59, was previously the manager of Liverpool until 2024 and was working as the head of global soccer for Red Bull. His contract with Germany runs until the 2028 World Cup and the 2030 World Cup. He will be assisted by Peter Krawietz, Pepijn Lijnders, and Sven Bender. "Few things can bring us Germans together like the national team," said Klopp. "That is exactly what makes this role so special for me. I'm grateful for everything I've been able to experience and learn during the past year and a half at Red Bull, and for everyone's willingness to find a solution that made this possible. I'm now looking forward to taking on this special role in German football. "We will approach it together with humility and patience as we look to build a team that fights for one another, enjoys its football and that people across our country can get fully behind." Klopp will analyze 57 outfield players for the national team. The Germans, who sit at No. 12 in the FIFA world rankings, will face the No. 9 Netherlands in Nations League play on September 24 in Amsterdam. "We will approach it together with humility and patience as we look to build a team that fights for one another, enjoys its football and that people across our country can get fully behind," said Klopp. "We will approach it together with humility and patience as we look to build a team that fights for one another, enjoys its football and that people across our country can get fully behind."
