Klopp accepts Germany job as Nagelsmann steps down

Jürgen Klopp has accepted the German national team job after Julian Nagelsmann stepped down, and he is not coming quietly. "I'm more than recharged and ready," Klopp said, adding that "big changes are necessary" in German football regardless of who takes the role (1). The announcement lands on the morning of Germany's Round of 32 clash with Paraguay in Foxborough, where Nagelsmann's side entered the knockout stage under a cloud after losing to Ecuador and drawing sharp criticism from Gary Lineker. Klopp, who left Liverpool two years ago citing exhaustion, framed his return as a mission to overhaul the national setup from the ground up.
