Jürgen Klopp is back in coaching, and Germany is hoping one of the game's most successful managers can restore its place among international football's elite.
The German Football Association (DFB) unveiled Klopp as the new head coach of the men's national team on Friday, handing the former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager a contract through the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
The appointment comes after Germany's latest World Cup failure, extending a run of disappointing tournament performances that has left one of football's traditional powerhouses searching for answers.
"The national team brings us Germans together like almost nothing else can. That's what makes this task so special for me," Klopp said during his introductory news conference in Frankfurt.
Klopp succeeds Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned after Die Mannschaft's penalty shootout loss to Paraguay at the 2026 World Cup.
