The 59-year-old is expected to be officially appointed as head coach of his country soon.Ahead of his unveiling, Klopp has been making decisions over the backroom team that he wants in situ at the DFB - and it appears that he is keen on a couple of reunions.According to Sky in Germany, both Pep Lijnders and Peter Krawietz are expected to be appointed to his team, the pair having worked closely with him during his time at Liverpool.Speaking about the pair’s relationship in 2020, the former said: “There’s a super dynamic between us. He sees who I am, and respects that.

He’s inspirational and motivational. There is a saying that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care."And I think everyone who works with Jurgen has the feeling he really cares about you and your development.

He then returned to the Premier League after being appointed as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City - a job Klopp encouraged him to pursue.“The moment Pep called, and the feeling he gave me about what he wanted to do with the team by bringing me in, the trust he already had before we discussed how it would look, that made the decision much easier,” Lijnders said.“But you cannot put away 10 years of Liverpool that easily. When I spoke with Jürgen he was so clear: ‘If you don’t do it, I will take the assistant job.’”Elsewhere, Krawietz worked with Klopp at Liverpool until his departure in 2024.
