The German Football Association denied holding an expanded meeting on Thursday to finalize the appointment of Jürgen Klopp as head coach of the German national team. Informed sources told the German Press Agency (dpa) that the supervisory board and relevant parties in the association would hold a meeting today, but the German Football Association denied this, stressing that there are still details that need to be worked on, without specifying a date for this meeting.

Widespread speculation has arisen about the possibility of introducing Klopp on Friday as the technical director of the 'Machine' national team with a contract extending until 2030, but this has become doubtful at present. Nevertheless, all indications point toward signing the former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool coach, aged 59, to succeed Julian Nagelsmann, who left his position after being eliminated from the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup with a loss to Paraguay, which is the third consecutive failure of the German national team in major tournaments.
