Jürgen Klopp has been named as head coach of Germany’s men’s national soccer team, the German Football Association announced Friday. Klopp has signed a four-year contract that will see him take charge of the squad through to the 2030 World Cup.
Background and Experience
Klopp started his head-coaching career with Mainz 05 in 2001 and later moved to Borussia Dortmund in 2008. He led Die Schwarzgelben to back-to-back league titles in the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 seasons. After seven years in Dortmund, Klopp became the new head coach of Liverpool, leading the team to a first league title in 30 years and three Champions League finals, winning the competition in 2019.
Klopp will be tasked with getting Germany back among the world’s best international teams. Germany’s men’s team has four World Cup titles and has won the European Championship three times but has been well below par of late.
