Klopp takes over Germany as the Nagelsmann era ends
According to Fabrizio Romano the deal with the DFB is done. The man who took Dortmund and Liverpool to the summit steps into an international job for the first time.
Jürgen Klopp is set to become the new head coach of the Germany national team after agreeing terms with the German Football Association (DFB). The report comes from transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Klopp is expected to take over from Julian Nagelsmann. Having spent many years in club football in Germany and England, he will be taking an international role for the first time.
The change comes as Germany prepares for its upcoming tournament calendar. The composition of the coaching staff and squad selection are expected to become clearer in the period ahead.
MHA Analysis
Carrying a method built on daily training into international football is one of the hardest transitions in management; Klopp's success will hinge not on tactics but on whether an identity can be built inside a calendar compressed into a few camp days a year. Germany's problem in recent tournaments has been identity rather than squad quality, which is precisely Klopp's strength. That he has never worked at international level, though, means the first qualifiers will be the real examination.
