Germany appoint Klopp as head coach after World Cup debacle Former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund coach tasked with rebuilding Germany. Football 17 min ago
Germany have appointed Juergen Klopp as head coach on a four-year contract, the country’s football association (DFB) said on Friday, handing the former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager the task of leading the national team into a new era after another disappointing World Cup campaign.
The DFB also appointed former Germany defender Per Mertesacker, a member of the 2014 World Cup-winning side, as managing director for sport.
