2026 World Cup: Klopp Confirms Next Managerial Job

The former Liverpool manager is expected to return to coaching after leaving Red Bull, with a deal reportedly running through the 2030 World Cup.

  • Per German media outlet BILD, Jürgen Klopp will be officially presented as Germany's new manager on Friday, marking his return to coaching after leaving Liverpool in May 2024.
  • Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff granted the 59-year-old permission to depart his role as head of global soccer without requiring payment. The German Football Association faced no fee obligation to secure his release.
  • Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville questioned the transition, stating, "The thing is about international football, you've got a fixed pool to choose from, whereas with clubs you can sign players from different nationalities."
  • Klopp succeeds Julian Nagelsmann, who departed following Germany's World Cup exit to Paraguay, and agreed to a contract with the German Football Association extending through the 2030 World Cup.
  • After appearing on MagentaTV for the World Cup final, Klopp will transition to the dugout full-time. Observers compare the challenge to Carlo Ancelotti's tenure with Brazil, where improving national teams proves exceptionally difficult.
