The suggestion was always that the German's current employer wouldn't stand in his way once Nagelsmann resigned.Klopp is set to sign a four-year deal with his country.
He will therefore oversee Germany at the European Championship in 2028, which will be held in Great Britain, and the 2030 World Cup in Spain, Morocco, and Portugal.The suggestion is that he will earn a similar amount of money to Nagelsmann in the role, an annual salary of around $8.0 million (£5.9 million).Klopp's former assistants at Liverpool, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders, are expected to join his Germany staff.
