FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) \u2014 J\u00fcrgen Klopp was expected to be named Germany\u2019s new coach Friday, tasked with bouncing back from another disastrous World Cup.<\/p>\n

The German soccer federation was expected to announce at a news conference Friday morning that it has agreed a contract with Klopp for his first coaching job since he left Liverpool in 2024. German media reported his deal will run through the 2028 European Championship and 2030 World Cup.<\/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 on June 29.<\/p>\n

Germany has not won a knockout game at any men\u2019s World Cup since it won the title in 2014.<\/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

Klopp hasn\u2019t coached since he left Liverpool in 2024, citing fatigue. Since then, he\u2019s been head of global soccer for Red Bull\u2019s network of clubs around the world. He said this month he felt \u201crecharged\u201d and ready for another coaching job.<\/p>\n
