Jurgen Klopp has left open the possibility of managing the German national team.
According toThe Telegraph The former Liverpool manager is excited about the opportunity to lead "Die Mannschaft" at EURO 2028 and the 2030 World Cup. Despite recently taking on the role of global football director at Red Bull, Klopp has left open the possibility of returning to the dugout sooner than expected.
Although willing to accept the offer, the 59-year-old coach is reportedly set specific conditions. He desires a flexible schedule that would allow him to avoid attending Bundesliga and international matches every weekend. Instead, the German strategist wants to focus entirely on strategic planning and building a team for major competitions.
This move comes shortly after Germany's shocking defeat against Paraguay in the Round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup on the morning of June 30th. Although Kai Havertz scored the equalizer to make it 1-1, the European team was still eliminated after a cruel penalty shootout.
