In the space of one month, Germany has officially announced Jürgen Klopp as its new coach after Julian Nagelsmann’s resignation. The 59-year-old coach sat in his first ever press conference as Mannschaft coach and called it a special day for him.
“It’s a huge honor to be sitting here today,” Klopp began (as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). “What’s been happening to me these last few days is like a film playing in my head. I already had some idea of how big the job of national team coach is. But
when you’re associated with it, you feel the magnitude and the responsibility even more. Knowing where I come from, it was unimaginable for me that it would ever come to this. It’s a very special day for me. I would like to thank everyone who made this possible.”
The German national football team is a bit lost at the moment, but Klopp is widely considered to be the man to right the ship and get them back to their best and he’s up for the challenge.
