German national football team head coach Julian Nagelsmann has resigned, according to Israeli media reports, following the team's elimination in the round of 32. Jürgen Klopp is reportedly a candidate to replace him.
The resignation continues a pattern of high-profile coaching departures following the 2026 World Cup. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman also resigned after his team's elimination. Nagelsmann's Germany side was eliminated in the round of 32, widely seen as a failure for a traditional powerhouse. The report, citing unnamed sources, suggests that Jürgen Klopp, currently without a club after leaving Liverpool, is the leading candidate to take over. The German Football Association (DFB) has not yet officially commented.
