Germany’s penalty shootout defeat to Paraguay in the Round of 32 marked the country’s third consecutive disappointing World Cup. The 4-time world champions, who won the trophy in 1954, 1974, 1990, and 2014, were eliminated in the group stage in both 2018 and 2022.
Klopp, 59, is working as a television pundit during this World Cup and serves as Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull. He recently indicated that he would be open to considering such an offer and is widely regarded as the fans’ preferred candidate.
One of Germany’s most successful club managers, Klopp won the Bundesliga and German Cup with Borussia Dortmund. He managed Liverpool in the English Premier League from 2015 to 2024. During his 9-year spell with the club, he led Liverpool to every major trophy, including the UEFA Champions League and Premier League titles.
