Jürgen Klopp On Verge Of Accepting Germany Coaching Job After Red Bull Exit

Jürgen Klopp has confirmed he is closing in on becoming Germany's next head coach after agreeing a 'generous' exit arrangement with Red Bull group. 

The former Liverpool manager says only formal discussions remain before an official announcement, with the DFB edging closer to appointing its preferred candidate.

Klopp has confirmed he is on the verge of taking charge of Germany after reaching an agreement with Red Bull that clears the biggest obstacle to his appointment. The 59-year-old, who became Red Bull's Head of Global Soccer in early 2025, said negotiations are progressing well.

Klopp explained that while his departure from Red Bull has been agreed, the formal process with the German Football Association (DFB) is still ongoing. According to Sky Sports Germany, Klopp could be officially unveiled as Germany's new head coach on Friday if the remaining formalities are completed. The appointment would mark his return to management after leaving Liverpool in 2024.

Speaking to MagentaTV, Klopp admitted that the process is not yet complete but believes an announcement is close. "Nothing is final yet, but talks have been ongoing and everything is moving in the right direction," Klopp said. "I've reached an agreement with Red Bull, a very generous one, so there's really nothing standing in the way."

He added that discussions within the DFB still need to be completed before anything is made official, stating: "However, many more discussions need to take place because we're talking to a governing body and a lot of people need to be informed. Nothing has been decided, but we're not far from being able to make an announcement. Ideally, it should happen in the next few days; the decision will be made."
