German Football Chiefs Target Klopp to Replace Nagelsmann After World Cup Flop
The DFB says Klopp has signaled willingness to take over, while Nagelsmann’s exit follows Germany’s third straight early World Cup departure.
- On Friday, the German Football Association confirmed it is in talks with Jurgen Klopp to replace Julian Nagelsmann as head coach following Germany's shock World Cup exit to Paraguay.
- Germany crashed out in a penalty shootout to Paraguay on Monday in the Round of 32, marking the third consecutive early World Cup exit for the four-time champions and prompting the federation's immediate leadership change.
- Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer Klopp confirmed he is "fundamentally willing" to take the role, though he must negotiate release terms with his current employer before the appointment becomes official.
- During a three-hour meeting on Thursday, Nagelsmann was reportedly offered a €7 million severance package—approximately one year's salary—to facilitate his immediate departure and allow the federation a fresh start.
- After two years away from the dugout, Klopp stated he feels "more recharged than ever," positioning him to lead Germany through the 2028 European Championships if talks conclude successfully.
