Jürgen Klopp's future after his Liverpool tenure has become a bit clearer as Julian Nagelsmann, the current manager of the German national team, has signed a new contract.

Klopp, who announced earlier this year that he will be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season, had been linked with several roles, including taking over the German national side.



After signing the contract, he expressed his joy saying: "This is a decision of the heart."

He added: "It is a great honour to be able to train the national team and work with the best players in the country.

With successful, passionate performances we have the chance to inspire an entire country."

Klopp, on the other hand, has previously stated his interest in managing the German national team.

Before confirming his departure from Liverpool, he said: "The job of national coach is and would be a great honour — there's no question about that."

Klopp expressed his deep commitment to Liverpool, stating: "The problem that stands in the way of the whole thing is my loyalty.

I want to keep my options open."

With the German national team off the table for now, Klopp will have to bide his time if he still dreams of leading Die Mannschaft.
