Jurgen Klopp has made it clear that he will walk away from his role as Germany head coach the moment he loses the trust of the German Football Association (DFB), insisting he has no interest in remaining in the job if he is no longer wanted.

The former Liverpool manager was officially unveiled as the new boss of Die Mannschaft, marking his first venture into international football after enjoying one of the most successful managerial careers in the club game.

Speaking during his presentation, Klopp stressed that his commitment to the role is built on mutual trust and support, warning that he would leave without demanding compensation if the DFB concluded he was no longer the right man to lead the national team.

“The day you no longer want me, I will leave, without any severance pay,” Klopp said.

“If you declare tomorrow that I am inadequate, I will depart. It cannot be just one individual; it must be a collective sentiment. If the DFB decides I am not suitable, I will go.”

The 59-year-old also addressed the scrutiny that comes with managing one of world football’s biggest national teams, saying he accepts criticism of his work but expects respect for his family away from the game.

“If you act poorly and do not allow my family to have peace, I will leave,” Klopp added. “Feel free to criticize me if things do not go well. I am willing to address it. The focus is on the job.”

Klopp further revealed that he sees the Germany job as the final chapter of his coaching career and has no plans to manage another team after his spell with the national side.

“Jürgen Klopp does not have a career beyond the national team. Ideally, this will be the pinnacle of my career,” he said.

Klopp replaces Julian Nagelsmann following Germany’s disappointing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, which ended in a shock Round of 16 exit to Paraguay. The defeat meant Germany failed to progress beyond the last 16 for the third consecutive major tournament, prompting the DFB to make a managerial change.

The appointment ends Klopp’s two-year absence from coaching after leaving Liverpool at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. During his nine-year spell at Anfield, he transformed Liverpool into one of Europe’s dominant teams, winning the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup.

Germany will now hope Klopp can replicate that success on the international stage and restore the national team to the top of world football after several disappointing tournament performances. His appointment signals a fresh era for Die Mannschaft, with expectations high that one of football’s most respected managers can lead the four-time world champions back to major honours.
