Germany have reportedly parted ways with head coach Julian Nagelsmann following the nation’s disappointing FIFA World Cup campaign, with the decision coming just days after their shock Round of 32 elimination. Reports indicate former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is open to taking charge of the national team.
Julian Nagelsmann’s spell as Germany head coach has come to an end after the German Football Association reportedly decided to move in a new direction following the country’s poor World Cup performance. Germany were knocked out in the Round of 32 by Paraguay on penalties, extending a run of disappointing major tournament results.
According to reports from German outlet BILD, the decision has already been made, with Nagelsmann set to leave his position despite previously expressing his desire to continue in the role.
Attention has now shifted to Jürgen Klopp, who has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Nagelsmann. The former Liverpool manager is understood to be open to taking over the Germany national team, although no official appointment has been announced.
