Klopp has a clear path to Germany, Bender could become his assistant

According to new reports, Jürgen Klopp is closer to taking over the German national football team from Julian Nagelsmann. Following a preliminary agreement with the German Football Association, a key issue regarding his ties to Red Bull has also been resolved, as the company will no longer stand in the way of his move to the national team.

Previous negotiations between Klopp and the DFB leadership took place in New York and were heading toward a contract valid until the end of the 2030 World Cup. Federation president Bernd Neuendorf and vice president Hans-Joachim Watzke reportedly agreed with him on the essential points of the cooperation. According to the latest information, an official presentation is expected as early as this week, with the German federation also working out further personnel appointments. hnonline.sk ↗

Sven Bender, a former German international and one-time Borussia Dortmund player from Klopp's era there, could join Klopp's coaching staff. Together in Dortmund they won domestic titles and achieved other successes. At the same time, the DFB is also negotiating with Per Mertesacker, who could be given a significant management role within the new sporting structure. ta3.com ↗

The national team's first appearance under coach-designate Klopp is expected to come in the Nations League, with the match broadcast by RTL. Despite the expectations, notes of caution are also being voiced. After Germany's third consecutive World Cup disappointment, Lukas Podolski criticized the team and warned against excessive euphoria, saying that a change of coach alone will not solve the team's problems. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
