Julian Nagelsmann resigned as Germany head coach on Friday in the wake of the country's latest World Cup disappointment, with former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp emerging as the leading contender to replace him.
The German Football Association (DFB) announced Nagelsmann's departure four days after Germany were knocked out of the FIFA World Cup 2026 by Paraguay on penalties in the Round of 32, extending the four-time champions' miserable run to three successive tournaments without reaching the last 16.
