Jurgen Klopp is ‘not available’ for the vacant Germany head coach job, his agent has confirmed.
The Liverpool manager’s agent, Marc Kosicke, said that he would be honouring his contract with Liverpool, which expires in June 2026.
The Germany job became up for grabs when Hansi Flick was sacked on Sunday following a humiliating 4-1 home defeat to Japan.
Klopp has been among the favourites for the position, amongside Julian Nagelsmann, Matthias Sammer, and Oliver Glasner. The German FA will reportedly hold talks with the former two.

Following Hansi Flick’s sacking, Klopp has been one of the favourites to take on the tricky job
He has expressed interest in the role in the past and fans have long thought that managing his country would be the perfect way to follow his work at Liverpool.
In an interview with Sky Germany over the summer, Klopp said: ‘The job of national coach is and would be a great honour – there’s no question about that. The problem that stands in the way of the whole thing is my loyalty.’
He added: ‘Basically, it’s an interesting job. But I don’t know yet whether I’ll do something completely different after I leave Liverpool. I want to keep my options open.’
