The decision marks a return to national football for Klopp, who has been serving as Red Bull’s head of global football since stepping down from Liverpool in 2024.
Klopp’s appointment, if formally confirmed, will see one of Germany’s most prominent football figures take charge of the national team. He previously managed Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool with significant success, earning a reputation for high-intensity, attacking football.
