Klopp rejected approach Germany manager job

Jurgen Klopp rejected an approach to become Germany’s new head coach.

Klopp has routinely been linked with taking the reins with his homeland despite signing a new four-year extension at Liverpool 18 months ago.

Ex-Bayern Munich manager Julian Nagelsmann was appointed on Friday to oversee the four-time world champions through their Euro 2024 campaign.

But Die Mannschaft officials are understood to have been disappointed when reaching out to the 56-year-old about taking the previously vacant position.

Klopp reaffirmed commitment to Anfield whenever previously broaching the subject and endorsed Nagelsmann’s candidacy when asked earlier this week.

He said: “I think Julian is a great solution because he is a great coach.

“He had already proven at 28 that he is a fantastic coach. He has eight years of experience.

“Others have that at 45 or 50 – at the highest level.”
