Germany Coach Julian Nagelsmann Resigns After Another World Cup Failure
The committee strongly recommended his resignation after Germany’s penalty loss, and Jurgen Klopp is the leading candidate to replace him.
On Friday, Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann resigned following his team's shock last-32 World Cup exit against Paraguay, a decision that followed a secret three-hour summit with DFB leadership in Frankfurt on Thursday.
DFB President Bernd Neuendorf, Bundesliga President Hans-Joachim Watzke, and Sporting Director Rudi Voller pressed Nagelsmann to resign, concluding he failed to justify Germany's early tournament elimination.
Nagelsmann is set to receive around £5million in a severance package, while Germany has failed to win a single knockout game since winning the World Cup in 2024.
The Daily Telegraph reports that Jurgen Klopp is the popular choice to succeed Nagelsmann, with the 59-year-old manager indicating openness to leading the national team.
Klopp, currently Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull GmbH, views the upcoming Euro 2028—hosted across England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland—as an attractive proposition for his return to management.
Bundestrainer Julian Nagelsmann has officially declared his resignation. After the World Cup debacle of the football team Jürgen Klopp is now to take over his position. The DFB has already published a statement.
The out for Julian Nagelsmann as a Bundestrainer is sealed. Now everything points to Jürgen Klopp as a successor. That is what international media write.
