After 2 years away, Klopp returns! The 59-year-old officially announced as new Germany coach, signing a 4-year contract, debut confirmed.

On July 24, Beijing time, the German FA made it official: 59-year-old Klopp is the new head coach of the German national team. He will sign a four-year deal and will guide the team through the 2027 Nations League, 2028 Euros, and 2030 World Cup. Klopp's return to the sidelines after two years marks a new chapter for German football.

In this World Cup, the German men's team advanced as group winners, but suffered a shock exit in the first knockout round, losing to Paraguay in a penalty shootout. This also set a shameful record of failing to reach the round of 16 for three consecutive World Cups.

After Germany's elimination, on July 3, the 38-year-old young coach Julian Nagelsmann resigned, taking responsibility. Then, 59-year-old Klopp, amid widespread anticipation, took over the German national team. Many believe that since Franz Beckenbauer, Klopp could become the most influential German national team coach.

Klopp's debut match as Germany coach has been set: on September 24 at 20:45 German local time, Germany will face the Netherlands in a key Nations League match in Amsterdam.

Born on June 16, 1967, Klopp has coached several famous European clubs including Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, and Liverpool. Particularly during his tenure at Liverpool, he achieved great success, winning the Champions League and the Premier League, among other titles.

Klopp was consequently named FIFA's Best Men's Coach for 2019 and 2020. In the summer of 2024, he stepped down from his role at Liverpool at a high point. For the past two years, he has served as the "Global Head of Soccer" for the Red Bull group.
