Germany has made an important decision by appointing Jürgen Klopp as national team coach. This is confirmed by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer, who will compete with the DFB team at the 2026 World Cup. The team currently leads the World Cup group with 6 points from 3 games, after a 1-1 draw against Paraguay on June 29, 2026.
Why Klopp is the right choice
Neuer praises Klopp's expertise and hopes he will advance German football. The 40-year-old goalkeeper emphasizes that Klopp has already achieved a lot in his career. "I believe he has the greatest expertise, and I hope he will advance German football," Neuer said in the Sky interview.
Neuer recommends Urbig as successor
For the goalkeeper position, Neuer recommends his deputy Jonas Urbig. The Bayern goalkeeper is convinced of Urbig's performances in all competitions. "I have a very good feeling about that," says Neuer. The DFB team has a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the last five games (DLWWW).
Neuer plans career end
Neuer hints that he may end his career after the upcoming season. "No, nothing is 100 percent. It's not set in stone, but the probability is high," says the captain. The next match for the DFB team is on September 24, 2026, in the Netherlands.
