Jürgen Klopp named Germany’s national team coach through 2030

The German Football Association (DFB) officially appointed Jürgen Klopp as head coach of the Germany men’s national team on 24 July 2026, succeeding Julian Nagelsmann after the team’s round‑of‑16 defeat to Paraguay at the 2026 World Cup. Klopp signed a contract that runs until the 2030 World Cup and will inherit the role with a staff that includes Peter Krawietz, Pepijn Lijnders and Sven Bender. His first competitive assignment is a UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands on 24 September 2026.

DFB president Bernd Neuendorf announced the appointment at a press conference in Frankfurt. Klopp warned that he would resign without compensation if media scrutiny threatened his family’s privacy. A separate agreement with Red Bull provides a €1 million donation to the Wings for Life foundation and earmarks three future Germany matches to be played at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig. Former German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn cautioned that Germany’s difficulties run deeper than a coaching change, citing fundamental questions about player development and style of play.
