On July 24, Beijing time, the German Football Association held a press conference to announce that Jürgen Klopp would become the new head coach of the national team.
German Football Association President Neuendorf stated: " Klopp is one of the few figures who represents passion, credibility, and the ability to unite people. After Nagelsmann's resignation, he was my undisputed top choice, and therefore we relentlessly pursued him. I thank everyone who paved the way for this collaboration, especially Oliver Mintzlaff for his constructive dialogue and cooperation, and Aki Watzke for his strong support. "
First Vice President Watzke stated: " Jürgen is one of the best coaches in the world in my opinion. He can make players better, and he is someone who can inspire, lead, and unite people. This is exactly what the national team needs. "
Sporting director Rudi Völler said: " Klopp has proven over the years at the highest level that he can develop young players and get the team performing under pressure. He is also an excellent motivator, able to inspire our fans and German football as a whole. I look forward to working with him. "
