Klopp and DFB reach understanding in New York talks

Jürgen Klopp is on the brink of becoming Germany's next manager. DFB president Bernd Neuendorf and vice president Hans-Joachim Watzke flew to New York on Saturday for face-to-face talks with Klopp, and the DFB confirmed the parties reached an understanding on the key terms of a potential contract (1). The talks continue next week, with both sides confident of a successful conclusion once an agreement is reached with Klopp's current employer, Red Bull. It is the most significant appointment German football could make after consecutive World Cup disappointments, and the reunion fans have wanted since he left Liverpool.
