Klopp is ready to take over as manager of the German national team.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Klopp is open to the possibility of becoming Germany's national team coach. Although Julian Nagelsmann wants to continue his work and has a contract until 2028, the German Football Association (DFB) is expected to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the situation in the coming weeks.
If given the choice, this would be Klopp's first managerial return since leaving Liverpool two years ago. European media outlets have unanimously confirmed that the 59-year-old strategist is reportedly very interested in the opportunity to lead "Die Mannschaft" during this rebuilding phase.
Pressure on Nagelsmann intensified after Germany's disappointing performance in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup . The four-time world champions were eliminated by Paraguay in a penalty shootout, marking the first time in history that the German national team had lost in a penalty shootout at a World Cup.
Despite controlling possession and delivering 55 crosses throughout 120 minutes, Germany's attack remained ineffective. Kai Havertz scored the equalizer in the second half, but that wasn't enough to prevent one of the biggest shocks of the tournament.
Klopp himself once pointed out that the biggest problem with German football today is the players' inability to convert opportunities. According to him, the DFB needs a comprehensive overhaul, from the youth training system to the philosophy of national team development, instead of just changes on the coaching staff.
Currently, the DFB has not made any statement regarding Nagelsmann's future. However, with Klopp reportedly ready to take on the role, the prospect of the strategist who led Liverpool to European glory becoming the head coach of the German national team is entirely possible.
