Jürgen Klopp, the former Liverpool manager, revealed that he has held official talks with the German Football Association to take over the national team, succeeding Julian Nagelsmann who recently resigned.

Klopp, 59, said in statements reported by Foot Mercato on Friday evening: "Things moved very quickly. Julian resigned, the German association is looking for a successor, and they are negotiating with me."

The German coach added: "We need to have in-depth discussions because the problems we currently face are certainly not solely due to Julian Nagelsmann."

He praised Julian: "Nagelsmann is an exceptional coach, and he will prove that time and again throughout his coaching career."

Klopp pointed out the need to consult with his manager Oliver Mintzlaff before making a final decision, saying: "I know he cares deeply about German football, so he is very open to these talks."

He continued: "We have to wait and see how these discussions develop," indicating that the negotiations are still in their early stages and nothing has been decided yet.

It is worth noting that Klopp is considered one of the most prominent German coaches in the modern era, following his great successes with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool, making him the ideal choice to lead "Die Mannschaft" in the upcoming phase.
