J\u00fcrgen Klopp has confirmed he is in negotiations to take over as Germany\u2019s coach and says he has \u201crecharged\u201d the energy missing when he left Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Klopp is the German football federation\u2019s preferred candidate after Julian Nagelsmann resigned<\/a> on Friday, four days after Germany lost on penalties to Paraguay<\/a> in the World Cup last 32.<\/p>\n

\u201cJulian has stepped down and the [federation] is working on the succession and has approached me in the course of those considerations,\u201d said Klopp, speaking from New York on the German broadcaster Magenta TV in his role as a World Cup commentator.<\/p>\n

Klopp was the only coach named in a federation statement on the team\u2019s future, which said Klopp had \u201csignalled his willingness\u201d to take over. Klopp said talks would take time because of his contract as the head of global soccer for Red Bull\u2019s network of clubs.<\/p>\n

Klopp has not coached since he left Liverpool in 2024, saying at the time he was \u201crunning out of energy\u201d after eight years with the club where he won the Premier League and Champions League.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout two years ago I stopped at Liverpool and said that I lacked the energy for another job or for another year with Liverpool,\u201d he said. \u201cSince then I\u2019m more than recharged, I\u2019m ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

Germany\u2019s next coach will need to make sweeping changes and Klopp said he would need \u201cintensive talks\u201d with the federation to agree on the key points of how to transform the team\u2019s fortunes.<\/p>\n

It was the third men\u2019s World Cup in a row in which Germany have not reached the last 16. Germany have not won a knockout game since beating Argentina in the 2014 final.<\/p>\n

Klopp said Nagelsmann was an \u201cexcellent coach\u201d and not to blame for the team\u2019s deeper problems. \u201cGerman football is obviously at a turning point now,\u201d Klopp said. \u201cNow we need to change things fundamentally. Whether that\u2019s me in the end or whoever it may be, that doesn\u2019t change the fact that changes are necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Klopp has had a high-profile presence as a pundit on German TV at the World Cup, even taking part in post-game interviews with Nagelsmann at the side of the pitch. In the immediate aftermath of the Paraguay loss, he said he had not thought about taking on the Germany job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"J\u00fcrgen Klopp has confirmed he is in negotiations to take over as Germany\u2019s coach and says he has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":524618,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":["post-524617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524617"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/524617\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/524618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=524617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=524617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
