Jürgen Klopp looks all set to become the German national team's next coach, with talks with football federation President Bernd Neuendorf and Vice President Hans-Joachim Watzke reportedly set for next week.
Klopp is in the U.S. as a World Cup pundit and appears to be staying there for the tournament's duration. Sources close to the federation said its leading duo would be heading over the Atlantic for direct talks. Klopp has already indicated his interest in the role.
Neuendorf had only recently returned from the U.S. following Germany's World Cup last-32 exit at the hands of Paraguay. While back in Germany, he presided over talks with Julian Nagelsmann, which led to the coach resigning Friday.
Now the DFB president is going back to the U.S., with New York seen as the likely venue for discussions given Klopp's World Cup base is there.
The 59-year-old former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool coach is currently Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull and a deal must also be done with the sports franchise group.
