FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) \u2014 The German soccer federation has called a news conference for Friday when it is expected to present J\u00fcrgen Klopp as the next national coach.<\/p>\n

In a brief announcement on Thursday, the federation didn\u2019t give a reason for the event scheduled for Friday morning at its Frankfurt headquarters.<\/p>\n

The former Liverpool manager has been the preferred candidate ever since Julian Nagelsmann resigned following Germany\u2019s shock loss on penalties to Paraguay in the World Cup round of 32.<\/p>\n

Klopp held talks with Germany officials in New York while working there as a TV expert at the World Cup, and the federation said on July 11 they reached an agreement on \u201cessential key points\u201d of a contract.<\/p>\n

At that time, the main obstacle was getting the agreement of drinks giant Red Bull, where Klopp has been working for the last year and a half as head of global soccer, overseeing the network of Red Bull-backed clubs around the world.<\/p>\n

Klopp hasn\u2019t coached since he left Liverpool in 2024, citing fatigue. He said this month he felt \u201crecharged\u201d and ready for another job.<\/p>\n
