Jurgen Klopp has reached an agreement in principle to become the new coach of Germany. The former Liverpool manager is set to end his managerial retirement and take charge of the national team.
The German Football Association announced the development on Saturday after talks in New York. Klopp met with DFB President Bernd Neuendorf and Vice President Hans-Joachim Watzke, and the two sides reached agreement on the key points of a potential contract.
Negotiations will continue next week and remain subject to an agreement with Klopp's current employer, Red Bull. The DFB statement expressed confidence that a deal can be completed.
Klopp's first match in charge, if finalised, is scheduled for September 24 against the Netherlands in the UEFA Nations League. He had been working as a pundit in North America during the 2026 World Cup.
