Overview
- Julian Nagelsmann resigned following Germany’s shock World Cup exit, and the DFB said it reached a consensual contract resolution that took effect immediately.
- The federation has formally approached Jürgen Klopp and the coach has said “I’m ready” to hold detailed talks about taking the national job.
- Klopp remains under a Red Bull contract reported to run to 2029 and Red Bull could seek compensation or invoke disputed release terms that would affect any appointment.
- The DFB is pursuing broader changes inside the federation with both deputy coaches leaving, the CEO announcing he will not renew his deal, and Rudi Völler’s future described as uncertain.
- Negotiations over severance and release terms are expected in the coming days and the outcome will determine how quickly Germany can rebuild its coaching staff and plan for the next cycle.
