Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp reportedly rejected an approach to succeed Hansi Flick as Germany manager, before Julian Nagelsmann was appointed this week.

The German football association (DFB) announced on Friday that Nagelsmann would take over as the new manager of the senior men’s national side.

Nagelsmann put pen to paper on a deal that will keep him in charge until July 31, 2024 – which will see him take charge of the German side for the European Championships, which are set to finish on July 14, 2024.

According to the Telegraph, the DFB turned to former Bayern boss Nagelsmann after Klopp turned down an approach.

The Liverpool manager reportedly left the organisation in ‘no doubt he was unavailable’ after being sounded out for the role.

Nagelsmann’s short term contract opens up the possibility the DFB could approach Klopp again after the Euros.

The 56-year-old had topped a poll of Germany supporters over their choice for manager.

Klopp’s agent, Marc Kosicke, stressed earlier this month that the Liverpool boss will be honouring his contract with the club, which expires in 2026.

The Reds manager revealed he was enjoying and excited by the prospect of his Liverpool rebuild following their 3-1 Europa League win over LASK this week.

‘Massively. From the first day since we got back, I have enjoyed it a lot,’ Klopp said. ‘I was really excited about the rebuild, the new way, the new energy. We decided last year we had to change a lot.

‘But we wanted to change it for good, not because we have to. I am still excited. We are not stable yet, there are so many things not… but we are really good already. It’s a good start and nothing more.’

The DFB will hope Nagelsmann can help turn their fortunes around ahead of the European Championships in Germany next year.

DFB President Bernd Neuendorf claimed on his appointment: ‘Next year’s European Championship is of enormous importance for football in Germany as a whole.

‘We are convinced that Julian Nagelsmann, as national coach, will ensure that the national team inspires its fans and that the EURO is also a sporting success. 

‘Julian Nagelsmann is an outstanding coach who approaches his new task with the highest level of motivation.’

Speaking on his appointment, Nagelsmann said: ‘We have a European Championship in our own country.

‘That’s something special – something that happens every few decades. I subordinate everything to the fact of having a great tournament in a great country. I have a great desire to to take on this challenge.

‘The appearance in Dortmund was the beginning. We will be a close-knit group next year.’
