Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is set to become Germany's new national team coach following Julian Nagelsmann's abrupt resignation after a disastrous World Cup exit.Nagelsmann, who had been under contract until 2028, stepped down just four days after Germany's round-of-32 defeat to Paraguay.The German Football Association (DFB) confirmed discussions with Klopp, who is currently Red Bull's head of global football, are imminent.Klopp, known for his success with Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund, has a verbal agreement to transition from his current role.Nagelsmann's resignation follows a grueling debrief session and a reported £5.9 million severance package.He apologized to fans for the team's early exit and expressed regret over the disappointment.

The DFB aims to avoid stagnation by moving on from Nagelsmann, who previously led Germany to a competitive revival at Euro 2024 but failed to advance past the quarter-finals.The decision reflects efforts to break from past patterns of retaining underperforming managers.
