Germany want to appoint Klopp after Flick axed but there’s a twist for Liverpool
[ad_1]
GERMANY want to appoint Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and it might not cost him his job at Anfield, according to reports.
The four-time World Cup winners axed Hansi Flick yesterday after a run of humiliating results.
Germany crashed out the World Cup in Qatar in the group stages and have since failed to beat Belgium, Ukraine, Poland, Colombia and Japan.
Legendary striker Rudi Voller, who is director of the national team, is in interim charge until a replacement is found.
And the German FA reportedly “dream” of appointing Klopp.
The Liverpool gaffer was previously approached about the job in 2021 after Joachim Low stepped down.
But Klopp revealed he was “not available” due to his commitment to the Reds.
However, in a shock twist journalist Jan Aage Fjortoft reports that the German FA could offer him the national team job while also letting him stay on at Anfield at the same time.
The dual role will see him jet off during international breaks to manage his homeland.
Germany host the Euros this summer and are desperate to do all they can to land Klopp.

It is claimed the 56-year-old would turn down the offer but the twist could convince him.
The German FA have a long list of potential targets to replace Flick which features the likes of Louis van Gaal, Julian Nagelsmann, Miroslav Klose, Oliver Glasner and Matthias Sammer.
If Klopp did accept the DFB’s offer then he would become one of a small group of bosses to balance club and international football at the same time.
Sir Alex Ferguson took charge of Scotland for a year while he was still at Aberdeen in 1985.
