Former Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has been appointed as the new head coach of Germany.
Klopp, has been appointed on a four year contract, and succeeds Julian Nagelsmann, who resigned following an underwhelming performance at this year's FIFA World Cup, which saw Germany exit the tournament at the last 32 stage at the hands of Paraguay on penalties.
This news was confirmed by the German Football Association (DFB), after they had entered talks with Klopp in New York, where he was working as a television pundit during the World Cup.
Earlier this month, they confirmed that they had agreed a deal in principle for Klopp to take the job, which is set to see the German native take the reigns until the end of the 2030 World Cup at least.
Jurgen Klopp is expected to be joined by Pep Lijnders as part of the German backroom team, following his recent departure as Manchester City assistant coach after manager Pep Guardiola had left the club. Lijnders had worked as an assistant coach under Klopp at Liverpool during a hugely successful era.
Klopp's backroom team is also set to include another former assistant coach, Peter Krawietz, while reports have also suggested that Sven Bender, who played under Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, is to also join the management ticket.

Following his departure from Anfield, Jurgen Klopp was appointed Red Bull's head of global soccer, and said that he had no desire to return to club management, saying that he was "running out of energy" after leaving Liverpool.
It was also confirmed that the German Football Association had donated €1 million to Red Bull's non-profit foundation, Wings for Life in order to secure Klopp's release from his role there.
