Jurgen Klopp was named as the new head coach of the German men’s national football team on Friday, replacing Julian Nagelsmann who left after the team’s disappointing World Cup.
“We’re very happy to be able to present Jurgen Klopp today as the new coach,” German Football Association (DFB) President Bernd Neuendorf told a press conference in Frankfurt.
Neuendorf said Klopp’s contract would run until “summer 2030, so until the next World Cup in Morocco, Spain and Portugal,” adding that the contract would begin on August 15.
