Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become Germany head coach, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Premier League and Champions League-winning manager is set to replace Julian Nagelsmann, returning to the dugout for the first time since leaving the Reds in 2024.
Romano has claimed that the 59-year-old will sign a long-term deal with the four-time World Cup winners and leave his position at Red Bull. Julian Nagelsmann resigned in the wake of their shock Round of 32 exit to Paraguay, opening the door to the Liverpool icon earning his dream job with the national team.
In a statement published earlier this week, Germany outlined their intention to enter talks with Klopp with the tactician signalling his intent to take the position. Klopp is currently in the United States as part of German broadcaster Magenta TV's World Cup coverage.
On Sunday, Romano tweeted: "Jurgen Klopp as new Germany head coach, here we go! Klopp has accepted to take over; long term contract details, project and RB Group exit still under discussion, but he will be the new head coach.
"RB (Red Bull) considered (Oliver) Glasner as replacement but he signs at #NFFC. Klopp is back."
Klopp will be able to work closely with Liverpool star Florian Wirtz which could unlock the playmaker for the Reds in Andoni Iraola's first season in charge.
