Jürgen Klopp, currently serving as the global football director at Red Bull, has agreed to take charge of the German national football team in the upcoming period.

This development followed a firm ultimatum given to former coach Julian Nagelsmann, who was instructed to resign or face immediate dismissal after Germany's unexpected penalty shootout loss to Paraguay in the round of 32 at the World Cup.

Julian Nagelsmann officially announced his departure from the German team last Friday.

Transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano reported on his X account: "Breaking: Jürgen Klopp has become the new head coach of Germany. The decision is finalized."

Romano added, "Klopp has accepted the role; contract details, the long-term project, and his exit from the Red Bull group are still under discussion, but he will be the new head coach. Jürgen is back to coaching."

He concluded, "The Red Bull group considered Oliver Glasner as Klopp’s replacement, but Glasner signed with Nottingham Forest."
