Germany calls briefing amid Klopp coach reports

The German Football Federation (DFB) has called a news conference for Friday at its Frankfurt headquarters, where it is expected to officially present Jürgen Klopp as the new national team coach. Klopp has been the preferred candidate since Julian Nagelsmann resigned after Germany's shock penalty loss to Paraguay in the World Cup round of 32. The former Liverpool manager, who has been working at Red Bull as head of global soccer since leaving Liverpool in 2024, reached an agreement on key contract points with the DFB on July 11, 2026.
