Jürgen Klopp has confirmed he’s in negotiations to take over as Germany coach and says he’s “recharged” the energy he was missing when he left Liverpool.
Klopp is the German soccer federation’s preferred candidate after Julian Nagelsmann resigned, four days after Germany lost on penalties to Paraguay in the round of 32.
“Julian has stepped down and the (federation) is working on the succession and has approached me in the course of those considerations,” Klopp said, speaking from New York on German broadcaster Magenta TV in his role as a World Cup commentator.
Klopp was the only coach named in a federation statement on the team’s future, which said Klopp had “signaled his willingness” to take over.
Klopp said talks would take time because of his current contract as head of global soccer for Red Bull’s network of clubs.
