A major event has occurred in German football that will change the balance of power in European sports for the coming years. Legendary coach Jurgen Klopp has been officially announced as the new head coach of the German national team. The 59-year-old specialist has signed an agreement with the German Football Association (DFB) for a term of four years.

### Strategy for two major tournaments

The leadership of German football sees Klopp as the ideal candidate to realize ambitious plans. The main task set for the new coach is the successful conduct of qualifying campaigns for the next two major tournaments: the 2028 European Championship and the 2030 World Cup.

The official assumption of office is scheduled for August 15, 2026. On this day, Jurgen Klopp will replace Julian Nagelsmann as head coach of the national team, who will leave the team upon the expiration of his contract.

### Forming the coaching staff

Specialists have already determined the composition of the assistants who will work in Klopp's staff. The team will include:

- Peter Krawietz

- Pepijn Lijnders

- Sven Bender

It is worth noting that Krawietz and Lijnders already have experience working together with Jurgen at "Liverpool", where they were part of the team that won many trophies. This guarantees coordinated work and an understanding of the coach's tactical ideas.

### Words from the coach

Jurgen Klopp himself expressed joy at the new challenge, emphasizing the unique role of the national team in the life of the country.

"The national team can unite us, Germans, like almost nothing else. This is what makes this task so special for me. I am grateful for everything I have experienced and learned at Red Bull over the past year and a half, as well as for the openness that made this agreement possible. Now I look forward to this special with humility and patience: to create a team that fights for each other, that enjoys football and around which the people of our country can unite," Klopp said.

### The path to the top

Klopp's coaching career began in 2001 with work at "Mainz", where he spent seven years. The next stage was Borussia Dortmund (2008–2015). In seven seasons at "Signal Iduna Park", he won the Bundesliga twice, the German Cup once, and led the team to the Champions League final in 2013.

The most successful period of his career began in 2015 with his appointment at "Liverpool". Under his leadership, the Merseysiders won the Champions League, the UEFA Super Cup, the Club World Cup, and finally, the English championship in the 2019/2020 season.
