Jurgen Klopp started his reign as Germany’s head coach by threatening to quit if the media invades his family’s privacy.<\/p>\n
The former Liverpool manager was appointed on a four-year deal<\/a> on Friday to replace Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned this month after Germany’s shock World Cup defeat<\/a> by Paraguay in the last 32.<\/p>\n But the 59-year-old issued a warning to the media as he held his first press conference as Germany’s head coach.<\/p>\n “If you behave badly and don’t leave my family in peace then I’ll be gone, I’ll just turn away,” Klopp said.<\/p>\n “I know there are other countries where national team coaches are treated even worse.<\/p>\n “I love this job but I am always ready to call it quits if need be.”<\/p>\n Klopp’s appointment was widely expected for weeks and his contract will see him through to the 2030 World Cup, co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco.<\/p>\n “Jurgen Klopp is not going to have any ‘career’ after the national team,” he added. <\/p>\n “This is the pinnacle, the absolutely high point of my footballing career as coach. I will give everything I have got.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jurgen Klopp started his reign as Germany’s head coach by threatening to quit if the media invades his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":820783,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,41,39,42,40],"class_list":["post-820782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=820782"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/820782\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/820783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=820782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=820782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=820782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
