I&#8217;m taking this job even though I&#8217;ve seen how you&#8217;ve treated Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Nagelsmann and England boss Tuchel came under media scrutiny after their exits from the World Cup, with Tuchel criticised for his defensive tactics and substitutions as the Three Lions let slip a 1-0 lead in their semi-final defeat by Argentina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Klopp&#8217;s appointment was widely expected for weeks and his contract will see him through to the 2030 World Cup, co-hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jurgen Klopp is not going to have any &#8216;career&#8217; after the national team,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;This is the pinnacle, the absolutely high point of my footballing career as coach. I will give everything I have got.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is Klopp&#8217;s first coaching job since ending his nine-year tenure at Liverpool in the summer of 2024 after &#8220;running out of energy&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said he feels &#8220;the time is right&#8221; for his return to coaching and to take up his first role in international football.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last few days it was almost like a movie happening to myself,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I have always surmised the job of Germany head coach is really big but now it is really dawning on me what being the national team head coach is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;For many, many years it was unimaginable for me to assume this position. As the years went by, it became more or less evident that sooner or later I would be asked to do this job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Now I think the time is right.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His first game in charge will be against the Netherlands in a Nations League group-stage match on 24 September. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/sport\/football\/articles\/cqjxd0n4gd2o\">(BBC)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jurgen Klopp started his reign as Germany&#8217;s head coach by threatening to quit if the media invades his family&#8217;s privacy.
