🎥 Dream duo with Völler? Klopp reveals personal talks

🎥 Dream duo with Völler? Klopp reveals personal talks According to numerous media reports, Jürgen Klopp is the leading candidate for the position of head coach of the German national team. As reported by, among others, 'Sky', the former Liverpool coach has already held talks in the USA with DFB officials led by Hans-Joachim Watzke. Ahead of the World Cup round-of-16 match between Switzerland and Colombia, Klopp confirmed that he had also already been in direct contact with DFB sporting director Rudi Völler. "There have to be a few talks, regardless of how it all ends. When you read whether Rudi Völler and I could work together — if it comes to that — I thought it was good for us to speak directly and clarify: it wouldn’t fail because of me," he said on 'Magenta TV'.  He then emphasized how important Völler could be to him if he were to take the job: "If it happens, it’s incredibly helpful to have someone with you who knows the processes. On the one hand, Rudi has his football experience, but also his many years of work within the federation. That’s something I would have absolutely no experience with if I were to become it. I’ve neither played for a national team nor coached one." Völler had already confirmed on Tuesday afternoon in a small media round that he would fulfill his contract with the DFB until Euro 2028. During the longer phone call with Klopp, it had "quickly become clear that in the end this can and will work out." "I will work closely with the national coach," said Völler, but also added: "It’s not done yet," because Klopp and the federation still have a few hurdles to overcome.
