After the failure and subsequent sacking of Julian Nagelsmann, Germany had to go out and get a new coach for the national team. Thankfully, unlike some other footballing nations, the Germans had a top level coach just sitting around waiting for the opportunity.
Jürgen Klopp is now the new head coach of the DFB, and he plans to make changes. In his first press conference, he elaborated on what things will look like with him in charge.
“As a coaching team, we want to present a complete package,” said the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool FC manager (via @iMiaSanMia). “I’ve never been a coach who just shows up, puts the players through their paces, and then goes home when training is over. I’ve always taken care of things that happen at the club. Now it’s a federation, now it’s a country. I’ve always felt responsible at the club I was working for. I feel a responsibility to everyone who’s a football fan in this country. And that means doing the job as well as possible.”
“I want to get very involved in the structures,” he explained (via @iMiaSanMia). “Whoever brings in Jürgen, gets Jürgen. Everyone is happy today, but I’m not sure if that will be the case every day. I want to improve everything. I want to present the German national team in a positive light, so that we can eventually get back to the top. I’m looking forward to the challenge.”
Well, if there is anyone who can fix Germany, it’s Klopp. Fans eagerly await this new era of the DFB.
