Klopp ‘fundamentally willing’ to take over as Germany coach<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

J\u00fcrgen Klopp to take over from Nagelsmann?<\/strong> It appears the wheels are in motion. Here\u2019s the latest from AFP:<\/p>\n

Klopp has told the German FA (DFB) he is \u201cfundamentally willing\u201d to take over as Germany coach after Nagelsmann handed in his resignation, the DFB confirmed on Friday. Nagelsmann, who had a contract until 2028, stepped down from the job on Friday, just four days after Germany\u2019s disappointing last-32 exit to Paraguay.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the DFB said discussions would begin with Klopp, the former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund manager, while thanking Nagelsmann for his almost three-year stint.<\/p>\n

Klopp, who led Liverpool to Champions League and Premier League honours, is currently under contract as Red Bull\u2019s head of global football, but Sky Germany reports he has a verbal agreement which would allow him to leave to take up the Germany job.<\/p>\n

Nagelsmann\u2019s resignation comes a day after the 38-year-old was called into a three-hour meeting at DFB headquarters in Frankfurt to discuss his future. German tabloid Bild reported the coach was offered a severance package of seven million euros ($8 million), roughly one year\u2019s salary, to cut short his contract which was set to expire in 2028.<\/p>\n
