Germany’s Football Association confirmed it made two major concessions to release Jurgen Klopp from his Red Bull contract before appointing him as the national team’s new head coach.
Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has officially been unveiled as Germany’s new head coach after replacing Julian Nagelsmann following the country’s disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.
The 59-year-old, who signed a contract until the 2030 World Cup, returns to coaching after leaving his role as Red Bull’s Global Head of Soccer, with trusted assistants Pep Lijnders and Peter Krawietz joining his staff.
The German Football Association revealed it agreed to donate €1 million to Red Bull’s Wings for Life foundation instead of paying a traditional compensation fee, while also committing to stage three Germany internationals in Leipzig before 2030, as revealed in a Liverpool.com article.
DFB president Bernd Neuendorf described Klopp as the federation’s first-choice candidate, with the former Liverpool boss set to begin his reign in September’s UEFA Nations League clash against the Netherlands.
