Jurgen Klopp is reportedly edging closer to assembling his new-look Germany coaching team, with former Borussia Dortmund and Germany midfielder Sven Bender in advanced talks to become his assistant coach. Discussions are ongoing, but optimism is growing that the former defender will reunite with his ex-manager on the international stage.
Klopp’s backroom staff is also expected to feature two familiar faces from his successful Liverpool era. Trusted assistant Peter Krawietz and former Reds assistant manager Pep Lijnders are both anticipated to join the Germany national team set-up, bringing a wealth of tactical knowledge and experience.
Meanwhile, the German Football Association continues negotiations with former Arsenal captain Per Mertesacker over the role of managing director, a move that would further strengthen the federation’s leadership structure.
If all appointments are completed, Germany will boast an impressive blend of coaching expertise and football experience as Klopp begins preparations to lead the national team into a new era with renewed ambition.
