Julian Nagelsmann resigns as Germany head coach following Germany’s disappointing World Cup campaign, according to multiple reports. Germany fail to progress from the group stage at the previous two tournaments and are eliminated again, this time in the round of 32 after losing to Paraguay on penalties. Following the exit, Germany’s football federation is reported to move quickly to appoint a new coach for upcoming tournaments. Several outlets say Germany’s officials seek talks with former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, who is widely viewed as a leading candidate to take over. BBC and other reports describe Klopp as “ready” to replace Nagelsmann, and say the German FA intends to hold discussions with him. Sky Sports and others report Klopp’s availability and willingness to assume the role. Reports also indicate Nagelsmann met with federation figures in Frankfurt after the tournament and that he resigns after internal discussions about whether he should remain in charge. Coverage also notes Nagelsmann’s employment conditions, including severance figures mentioned in some reports. Overall, the story centers on the coaching change after Germany’s World Cup elimination and the federation’s focus on talks with Klopp as the next manager.

3 months agoJulian Nagelsmann has stepped down as Germany coach after the national team’s 2026 World Cup exit at the round of 32 stage. The 38-year-old coach leaves the post after almost three years in the role, and despite a defiant stance to continue after Germany were sent packing from North America by Paraguay, who shocked the 2014 World Cup champions 4-3 on penalties after a 1-1 scoreline. The defeat is the third consecutive World Cup tournament that Die Mannschaft has failed to reach the round of 16. Germany had shown early intent with a 7-1 win over Curacao but was ultimately denied further progress into the latter rounds, and Nagelsmann thinks the disappointment requires a fresh start. “My top priority has always been the team’s success. After such a bitter disappointment, they deserve the chance for a fresh start,” the coach said. “A special thank you also goes to the fans. You carried us, you trusted us, you gave us energy, even during difficult times. It truly pains me that we disappointed you and couldn’t give you any more memorable nights of football at this World Cup.” The German Football Federation (DFB), in its statement, also thanked the former Bayern Munich manager for his service since he took over the reins in 2023. “The German Football Association expressly thanks Julian Nagelsmann for his work since September 2023,” the statement reads. “He is characterised by a high level of commitment and extraordinary ambition. Julian Nagelsmann is also an extremely responsible and sincere person whom we all value.” Nagelsmann led Germany to the quarter-finals at Euro 2024 and has a 23-win, eight-loss record in 37 matches with the national team. Jurgen Klopp is expected to take over the reins of the team after reports surfaced of his interest in coaching in his homeland.
