Jurgen Klopp has reportedly accepted the position of the new Germany manager, marking the Liverpool icon's return to management after two years away.
The 59-year-old has been heavily linked with a return to the dugout after Julian Nagelsmann quit the German national team following a humiliating World Cup exit.
Germany were beaten by Paraguay in the round of 32 on penalties, the first time they have been knocked out via a shootout. Just days later, Nagelsmann resigned under pressure from the board.

Klopp has been cautiously linked with a return to management ever since his exit from Liverpool in 2024, where he has subsequently been serving as the head of global football for Red Bull.
But it appears he will now return to the dugout after it was reported by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano that he has accepted to take over. Romano announced the news with his "here we go" catchphrase.
Romano added that Klopp will sign a long-term contract but the details of the agreement and project he will undertake are still being discussed.
Meanwhile, the RB Group have began the process of hiring a new head of global football to replace Klopp. Oliver Glasner was considered but the former Crystal Palace boss is set to join Nottingham Forest.
