Germany's next chapter: Klopp tipped to replace Nagelsmann

On Friday at noon, the German Football Association posted on its website that Julian Nagelsmann is no longer the head coach of the Germany national team, following the surprising early exit in the World Cup round of 32 against Paraguay. Nagelsmann had been appointed to the Germany bench in 2023 after completing two seasons as head coach of Bayern Munich. His tenure was intended to build on the success he achieved in the German Bundesliga. During his spell, Germany were eliminated in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 on home soil. The defeat marked the first major tournament exit under his guidance.
