Jürgen Klopp was officially introduced as the new head coach of the German national team on Friday, taking over from Julian Nagelsmann following Germany's early exit from the 2026 World Cup. The 59-year-old, who signed a four-year deal that runs until 2030, described the role as the pinnacle of his coaching career and stated that there would be no managerial position after it.

In a forthright press conference, Klopp declared he would leave without severance pay the moment he is no longer wanted, adding that he would depart if the federation or wider opinion turned against him, or if the media failed to respect his family's privacy. The former Liverpool head coach said:
“If you behave badly and don't leave my family in peace, I'm gone”.
The former Premier League team boss added:
“Criticize me if something doesn’t work. I’m happy to work on it. It’s all about the job”.
Klopp explained a fresh start for players, promising bold selections and an intense, enjoyable style of football aimed at restoring Germany to the top of world football. His first matches in charge will come in the UEFA Nations League in September. The DFB has widely welcomed the appointment as the ideal choice to unite and inspire the nation once more.
