After sacking Hansi Flick, the German national team is considering Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp as a key candidate for the coaching position.

A potential plan outlined by 90min suggests that the German Football Association (DFB) would be open to allowing Klopp to complete the current Liverpool season before taking over the national team job just before the start of the European Championships.

Klopp has expressed his loyalty to Liverpool in the past, but the accommodations and opportunities presented by the DFB may be tempting for him. Thomas Tuchel is also another name in contention for the job, and the DFB would be open to allowing him to finish his season with Bayern Munich.

Klopp has become synonymous with Liverpool, and his potential departure would be a significant loss for the club. However, Liverpool fans can take solace in the fact that Klopp has a contract with the team until 2026, and at 56 years old, he still has time to manage the German national team once his contract with Liverpool concludes.

Klopp has overseen a midfield revamp at Liverpool during the summer transfer window, bringing in fresh faces like Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Wataru Endo. Endo’s Japan team played a role in the dismissal of Germany’s former coach Hansi Flick with a 4-1 victory.

As the Premier League return approaches, Klopp is likely fully focused on his responsibilities with Liverpool.
