Jürgen Klopp named new Germany coach with eyes on 2030 World Cup

FRANKFURT (GERMANY): (Jul 24) (AP) Germany has hired Jürgen Klopp to coach its national team, giving the ex-Liverpool manager a daunting task to turn around the fortunes of a squad which failed yet again at the World Cup.

Klopp signed a contract to coach Germany through to the 2030 World Cup, the German soccer federation said as he was presented at a news conference Friday.

“It’s a big honour to be sitting here,” Klopp said.
