Overview
- Julian Nagelsmann agreed to leave the Germany job and the DFB formally ended his contract after the team's round-of-32 World Cup loss, a move confirmed by the federation on Friday.
- The DFB said it will seek talks with Jürgen Klopp and multiple outlets report Klopp has signalled his fundamental willingness to discuss the post.
- Klopp is under contract as Red Bull’s head of global soccer and negotiations must resolve a reported release mechanism with Red Bull before any hire can be finalised.
- German media have reported an estimated €7 million severance offer to end Nagelsmann’s deal early, a financial detail the DFB must settle as part of the transition.
- The federation frames the change as the start of a broader rebuild after repeated tournament failures since 2018 and aims to have a plan in place well before Germany’s Nations League opener on September 24.
