Germany 2026 are now basically England and that\u2019s got to hurt<\/a><\/p>\n\u2018RB considered Glasner as replacement but he signs at #NFFC. Klopp is back.\u2019<\/p>\n
On Friday, chiefs at the German Football Association \u2013 the DFB \u2013 reportedly told Julian Nagelsmann to either resign or be sacked following the country\u2019s shock World Cup exit.<\/p>\n
Germany were dumped out of the competition in the round of 32 by Paraguay, losing 4-3 on penalties.<\/p>\n
Nagelsmann resigned on Saturday, which saw Klopp reveal: \u201cYes, I can confirm the talks. Things moved along quite quickly.<\/p>\n
Klopp has confirmed Germany talks<\/p>\n
\u201cJulian has resigned and the DFB is working on a successor. And in the course of these considerations, they approached me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Klopp was heavily linked with the Real Madrid job earlier this year before Los Blancos president Florentino Perez decided to reunite with Jose Mourinho instead.<\/p>\n
Klopp and his agent downplayed links with Madrid, with managing Germany widely understood to be his dream next role.<\/p>\n
The 59-year-old is reluctant to take another club job as he has finally begun to spend more time with his family, though it will be interesting to see if managing Germany eventually prompts him to consider a U-turn on that stance.<\/p>\n
Klopp will be tasked by the DFB with guiding Germany to major silverware on the international stage. They last won the World Cup in Brazil in 2014 and the Euros in 1996, while also lifting the Confederations Cup in 2017.<\/p>\n
