Germany confirm Nagelsmann sacking... and talks with Klopp
A widely known secret has been made official. The German Football Association (DFB) has announced the immediate termination of Julian Nagelsmann's contract following the disappointing showing at the 2026 World Cup.
The decision, taken unanimously by the Supervisory Board, opens a new era for the German national team, which is seeking a deep restructuring in all areas.
DFB president Bernd Neuendorf and sporting director Rudi Völler thanked Nagelsmann for his tremendous commitment since 2023. For his part, the coach admitted in his farewell that the squad deserves a fresh start without the burdens of the past.
Alongside the national team manager, his two trusted assistants, Benjamin Glück and Benjamin Hübner, will also leave the federation, which expressed its sincerest gratitude for their dedication.
They are already in talks with Klopp
The board's focus is already on the immediate future and on one highly sought-after name. The DFB leadership will now seek to hold formal talks with Jürgen Klopp to offer him the job. The former Liverpool and Dortmund manager has already indicated, in principle, his full willingness to take on the important institutional role.
As if that were not enough, the World Cup crisis has also created a vacuum in the offices. During the members' meeting, sporting director Andreas Rettig stated that, for strictly personal reasons, he will not renew his contract, which expires at the end of the year. Rettig had already informed the DFB president of this position before the opening whistle of the World Cup.
