Jürgen Klopp is coming home. Germany’s football federation, the DFB, is nearing a formal agreement with the country’s most recognizable coaching export to take charge of the men’s national team, according to reports from Bloomberg and corroborated by multiple outlets.
The timing is not exactly calm. Julian Nagelsmann resigned following Germany’s disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leaving a vacancy that the DFB has moved quickly to fill.
What we know about the deal
DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and Vice President Hans-Joachim Watzke reportedly flew to New York to meet Klopp in person.
The two sides are working toward a four-year contract running through 2030, meaning the role would cover both the 2028 European Championship and the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
