According to Sky Germany, the DFB is prepared to give former Liverpool and Dortmund boss Jürgen Klopp extensive powers to reshape the national team and youth development, should the two parties come to an agreement over a contract.
Rather than focusing solely on the senior national team, the DFB reportedly wants Klopp to spearhead a wide-ranging restructuring of the country's footballing philosophy, addressing issues that have emerged in recent years.
A key part of the project would see Klopp ***** emble his own coaching team. Long-time ***** istant Peter Krawietz is expected to be part of the setup, while former Liverpool ***** istant Pepijn Lijnders and former RB Leipzig coach Zsolt Löw are also being considered as potential members of the backroom staff.
The future role of sporting director Rudi Völler remains unclear. However, the DFB reportedly believes a partnership between Völler and Klopp could work effectively through to UEFA EURO 2028, providing both stability and experience during the transition.
According to the report, Klopp's responsibilities would extend well beyond preparing the senior national team for international tournaments. He would be tasked with tackling structural issues throughout German football, including redefining the national team's playing style, modernising tactical principles and improving player development across the youth ranks.
